AC Lion, New York’s leading digital media recruiting firm, announces the expansion of its West Coast Operations. With a 14 year track record in executive search, AC Lion recently hired David Green, a senior executive search professional, formerly of Scharf Woodward, to augment its California services. This endeavor will continue AC Lion’s strong track record of success in digital media recruitment on both coasts.

Mr. Green will be working with Dana Eggers Lupton, head of AC Lion’s West Coast office, formerly of Vibrant Media. This team brings over two decades of recruiting experience in the California and media markets. “The convergence of media platforms such as TV, media and the Internet, makes Southern California and the Bay Area natural growth areas for AC Lion’s emerging media practice,” said Michael Adler, the Managing Partner spearheading the California efforts. “We work closely with many venture capital firms in the Bay Area and our growth in the LA media market has been tremendous.” The West Coast office, started by Ms. Lupton, will continue its work with media, entertainment, advertising and interactive companies ranging from Fortune 100 companies to start-ups.

AC Lion, under the stewardship of CEO Alan Cutter, has become one of the leading contingency search firm for the media and digitial space and continues to expand to San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago, among other major metropolitan areas. An acknowledged center of influence and expertise in online marketing staffing, AC Lion will continue its exemplary executive search in the contingency marketplace for sales, marketing and technology professionals.
