Michael J Day

Global Chief Financial Officer

A welcome, recent addition to the McCann Health team, Michael has spent half his professional career entrenched in the medical and health fields.

Michael’s agency experience is deep. Having joined Clarion Marketing, a division of D’Arcy Masius Benton and Bowles in 1996, Michael successfully developed through ten years of progressively more senior roles in various disciplines and industries (digital, RM, B2B, packaging, advertising, sports & events, property marketing). In January 2006, Michael became US CFO for Saatchi & Saatchi Healthcare, moving up to North American CFO for Publicis Healthcare at the end of 2009.

Joining McCann Health in August 2011, Michael’s six years in senior finance roles for healthcare marketing organizations seemed predestined given his career beginning. Having graduated Syracuse University with a major in Accounting, minor in Economics, his first role was to transform ALKO Diagnostic, a small Massachusetts medical manufacturer, to a modern GAAP accounting system. He successfully accomplished this in two years, leading to the sale of ALKO to Life Sciences Plc. in 1993. Michael remained with ALKO as Finance Director until joining Clarion in February 1996.

His experience as an officer in medical manufacturing gives Michael a unique insight to the challenges that our clients face – something quite rare in a network CFO. His knowledge will only further the ability of McCann Health to connect our clients to the relevant constituents and positively impact health.
