He also worked to spread sustainability lessons in his hometown through a collaboration with School & Community Assistance for Recycling & Composting Education (SCARCE). His passion for ecological practices and global ecological concern led him to assume many leadership positions, from international climate policy to managing recycling programs to leading an urban food tech nonprofit.

His enthusiasm and love of adventure make for an enjoyable challenge – whether that means playing golf, visiting a nearby brewery or having some quality time with his ladies.
He and his longtime wife Edwyna Strain (whom he met at Fordham Prep) currently reside in Manhattan with their three children. His passion for cooking has led him to become an expert at wine and cheese pairing – an area which he enjoys immensely.

Net Worth
William Mulrow is a Senior Advisory Director at Blackstone Group, an expansive private equity firm with $571 billion in assets under management. Prior to this role, he served as Secretary to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Mulrow may no longer be employed by the state, but he still earns a substantial income with an estimated net worth of about $3 million.
He holds multiple board seats at companies that benefit from government subsidies and regulatory approvals, such as Con Edison, Titan Mining and JBG Smith. These corporate positions create many conflicts of interest which could potentially lead to a recovery plan that prioritizes Wall Street profiteering at the expense of working people.
