SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT/CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

Entering his third full season with the Nets, Charlie Mierswa was named Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer in March of 2005. Charged with overseeing the finance, human resources, box office and MIS departments, Mierswa’s leadership is a key ingredient in management’s vision of transforming the front office into one of the most successful in all of professional sports.

Prior to joining the Nets, Mierswa was SVP Finance for Clear Channel’s Music Division (currently named Live Nation), the largest SEC registered concert promoter, producer and venue operator for live entertainment events. Mierswa brings not only venue and event experience, but a strong accounting and finance background which he developed through almost 10 years at Ernst & Young, one of the largest CPA firms in the world. This combination of financial and operational knowledge will be critical to the continued success of the new management team.

Mierswa received his B.A. in economics and Spanish from Hamilton College and his master’s degree in accounting from New York University’s Stern School of Business. Charlie is a long time Nets fan who grew up watching the Nets on Long Island and has followed the team to New Jersey. He now lives in Westfield, NJ with his wife, Julia, his daughter, Georgia, and son, Philip.
