Mark H. McCormack (1930–2003) grew up in Chicago, graduated
from William & Mary College and Yale Law School and moved to
Cleveland, Ohio, to begin his legal career. While practicing law in
Cleveland, he began International Management Group on a handshake
with Arnold Palmer in 1960, launching the modern-day sports
marketing industry. IMG continues to be the most dominant agency in
global sports today.
After publication of What They Don’t Teach You at Harvard Business
School in 1984, McCormack also became a bestselling author of
business advice books, focusing on practical, street-smart counsel
to help entrepreneurs succeed in any business environment.
