Mark Weinberger
Mark A. Weinberger (born 1964/1965) is an American businessman. He is the former global chairman and CEO of EY (formerly known as Ernst & Young). Weinberger currently sits on several boards of directors, including those of Metlife, Johnson & Johnson Saudi Aramco. and JPMorgan Chase. Earlier in his career he has also held several posts in the public sector in Washington, D.C., including time as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Tax Policy.
Weinberger was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, the son of Goldye (née Schick) and Murray Weinberger. He is Jewish. He graduated from Wyoming Seminary, a Methodist college preparatory school Kingston, Pennsylvania, in 1979. He received a Bachelor of Arts from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia in 1983. In 1987, he earned a Master of Business Administration and Juris Doctor from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, followed by a Master of Law from Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C. in 1991.
Following his studies at Case Western Reserve University, Weinberger joined EY's tax department in 1987. He later moved from the private sector to the public sector, becoming tax counsel for Sen. John C. Danforth, a Republican from Missouri. He maintained that post through the early 1990s before becoming chief of staff for the 1994 Entitlement and Tax Reform Committee, which had considered raising the retirement age for Social Security recipients, increasing premiums for Medicare and restricting tax deductions for interest on home mortgages.
Weinberger co-founded Washington Counsel, P.C., in 1996. EY acquired the firm in May 2000, which was renamed Washington Council Ernst & Young. From then until February 2001 Weinberger ran EY's national tax department.
Two consecutive U.S. presidents chose Weinberger for positions that returned him to the public sector. In 2000, President Bill Clinton appointed Weinberger to the Social Security Advisory Board. Weinberger later left EY's national tax department, in February 2001, to serve as President George W. Bush's Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Tax Policy. Weinberger returned to EY from the United States Treasury Department in April 2002. Weinberger also served President Obama on his Infrastructure task force.
EY announced, in January 2012, that Weinberger would succeed retiring CEO Jim Turley by taking on the role of global chairman and CEO in July 2013.
AT&T chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson named Weinberger chairman of the Business Roundtable's tax and fiscal policy committee in December 2014. He served on the 2016-2019 executive committee.
As president-elect, Donald Trump invited Weinberger and 15 other chief executives to join the President's Strategic and Policy Forum in December 2016, tasked with helping Trump establish an agenda that benefits the business community. In January 2019, EY announced that Carmine Di Sibio would succeed Weinberger, effective 1 July 2019.
