Mack's storied career at Morgan Stanley began in 1972, and over the years he was promoted to Partner, President of the public company and then CEO and Chairman.

From 2001-2005, Mack left Morgan Stanley to serve as co-Chief Executive Officer of Credit Suisse Group and Chief Executive Officer of Credit Suisse First Boston. When he returned to Morgan Stanley, he was elected to his current position of Executive Chairman of the Board.  Mack is often credited with stabilizing the firm, and reenergizing its culture, throughout the financial crisis in 2008.  In July 2010, Mack was named to the board of China Investment Corp., China's primary sovereign wealth fund.

"Rev is a company on a great mission, with a great team and products, facing an exciting global market opportunity.  I believe the impact I can have on the company is significant, and I'm looking forward to helping them grow," said Mack.

"Rev is going through a period of transformational growth, and John Mack's incredible track record of success makes him a perfect fit for the pace at which our company is moving," said Roy Sosa, Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of Rev Worldwide. "With his industry knowledge, operating expertise, and strategic guidance, Rev is in a unique position to accelerate in executing on its objectives.  On a personal level, Bertrand and I are honored by the opportunity to be mentored by John as we seek to grow Rev into a top tier global company."
