I am so sorry to learn of this. Brian was a phenomenal business partner, friend and mentor. He was a positive influence and had his priorities always aligned with his family, children and love of his life Mary Claire in the forefront of his thoughts and conversations. He will be sorely missed and remembered as a kind, loving friend, father, husband, and leader. Tom

10moBrian was an immense force in building many organizations and developing many executives. He was my exclusive partner for more than a decade at #hfs and Cendant Corporation where he reflected our distinctive culture and identified exceptional talent who contributed greatly to our success and who also went on to lead other global companies and brands. His impact cannot be overstated. But I will mostly remember our many breakfasts, lunches, and dinners chatting about all manner of topics and where he was always completely present and engaged and - importantly - genuinely kind and entertaining. He was a true business partner and friend. And all of our success was - in no small part - his as well. Farewell and RIP my friend.
