Entrepreneur Maneesh K. Goyal is the CEO of Pineapple Co, parent company to a portfolio of businesses he founded: MKG, Live in the Grey, Pink Sparrow, and 214.
In 2003, I founded MKG, now an award-winning experiential marketing agency with offices in New York and Los Angeles.
In recent years, I've spun two companies out of MKG: Pink Sparrow, a Brooklyn-based scenic fabrication shop; and 214, a boutique brand strategy and design agency that partners primarily with startups. I am also the founder of Live in the Grey, a company culture consultancy that challenges the work/life divide.
I have previously been a finalist for two Entrepreneur of the Year awards (Entrepreneur Magazine in 2011, and Ernst & Young in 2013).
In November 2014, I was appointed by President Barack Obama to the Fulbright Scholarship Board. I'm also a board member of several other non-profits, including the Serious Fun Children's Network (founded by Paul Newman) and NYC & Co., the official tourism organization of New York City.
