VP of Campaigns, PETA
PETA Senior VP Dan Mathews is the irreverent force behind many of the colorful crusades of one of the most enduring pressure groups of all time. Dan launched PETA’s “Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaign nude on the streets of Tokyo, has promoted animal rights costumed as a carrot, a cow and a priest, and has recruited stars including P!nk and Paul McCartney to keep PETA on the pop culture radar. Twice named one of the world’s most influential gays by Out magazine, Dan has lectured at Harvard, Princeton, Oxford and Cambridge universities, and his acclaimed memoir, Committed, was published by Simon & Schuster.
