Northrop & Johnson President & COO Daniel Ziriakus is named a South Florida Business Journal Forty Under 40 honoree for 2021.

This esteemed honor by the South Florida Business Journal is bestowed upon 40 individuals under the age of 40 “who have made an impact in their field of expertise, in their community and at their companies throughout the last year.” These young professionals honored are nominated by someone within or outside of their organization. A panel of advisors and the members of the South Florida Business Journal editorial staff select honorees from submitted nominations.

“I am deeply thankful and extremely honored to be named a South Florida Business Journal Forty Under 40 honoree,” said Northrop & Johnson President & COO Daniel Ziriakus. “I am so humbled to have been nominated by my incredible team at N&J for such a prestigious award. This honor really goes to the entire team for their commitment to the company and passion for the industry, and none of this would have been possible without the amazing culture of N&J, which our former CEO — and my mentor — Kevin Merrigan instilled into the heart of our organization.”

Since 2014, Daniel has helped grow Northrop & Johnson from a mid-size, US-based yacht brokerage to the world’s leading superyacht agency with an impressively global reach. He has been integral in the evolution of Northrop & Johnson, spearheading various cross-departmental initiatives that helped bolster the brand, resulting in double-digit growth in revenue every year since he took the position. Daniel’s global background in marketing and scaling brands, as well as his many years of yachting industry experience, provide the ideal foundation for his growth as a professional as well as the company’s incredible trajectory.

We, at Northrop & Johnson, are very proud of and thankful for all of Daniel’s hard work and never-ending dedication.
