Mr. Nathanson is Co-President of Mapleton Investments and non-executive Chairman of Falcon Water Technologies. A successful media entrepreneur, he has built and managed some of the most impactful consumer-facing brands in the US, bringing significant leadership and industry experience to his role on NEP's Board.

Mr. Nathanson is a four-time Emmy Award winner for his work in Sports media, was the recipient of the prestigious 40 Under 40 award in 2012 presented by the Sports Business Journal, and was twice named by CableFax as one of the 100 most influential persons in the media industry. Mr. Nathanson earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania and holds an MBA from the Anderson School of Management at UCLA.
We have an extremely talented Board who constantly offer us fresh, diverse perspectives that help us make better decisions as we move the company forward, said Brian Sullivan, NEP's CEO. I'm incredibly excited David is joining the Board, as his stellar reputation in the media industry precedes him. David is an entrepreneur and visionary with exceptional experience in the world of sports and media-and always brings keen insight into what customers want. Having worked closely with David for over a decade I know firsthand that his guidance and advice will be invaluable as we design our next generation of solutions to lead our company and our customers into the future.
As a former client, I know firsthand that NEP is the gold standard in technical production partnerships, said David Nathanson. As live content production and distribution evolves, NEP is incredibly well-positioned for the future. I'm excited to work with NEP's Board in supporting Brian and his leadership team to build upon the company's impressive track record of innovation, reliability and partnerships with the world's leading producers of live content.
