The Howard Hughes Corporation announced recently that Andrew Schwartz and Zach Winick have been named Co-Presidents of the company’s New York region and will lead the continued revitalization of the Seaport neighborhood in Lower Manhattan.

Schwartz joined HHC after serving as Senior Vice President of Global Partnerships at Brooklyn Sports and Entertainment, where he was responsible for overseeing all partnership sales for the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets and the NHL’s New York Islanders at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. He has more than two decades of experience managing strategic marketing partnerships, advertising campaigns, and events, including for SiriusXM, Major League Baseball, the New Jersey Devils, and the National Hockey League.
