McMahon also earned his MBA from Duke University's Fuqua School of Business. During that time, he was a brand strategist for the Coach K Leadership Center and the recipient of the Class of 1990 Scholarship for Service.

100MileGroup

From 2009-2011, McMahon was the Director of Operations at the 100MileGroup, a NYC brand-incubator launched by Marquis Jet titan Jesse Itzler. The incubator was part of several major branding deals that catalyzed start-up firms.

The Monday Life

McMahon founded The Monday Life in 2011 and is currently the CEO. The Monday Life is a national non-profit organization that helps hospitalized children feel better & heal faster by improving their patient environments.[3] The non-profit is at six children's hospitals across the country. The Monday Life is uniquely known for its crowd-sourcing fundraising platform,[4] which is based on donors giving $1 every Monday. The Monday Life recently filmed a music video with patients and members of the Duke Men's Basketball team which was featured on both CBS[5] and NBC Sports.[6] McMahon was also the host for The Monday Life's segment of Google's and Mashable's first ever Giving Tuesday Hangout-a-thon[7] and has spoken about the cause at Fuqua's Sustainable Business & Social Impact conference and with Jessica Jackley, founder of Kiva, at The Duke Colloquium.

In November of 2016, McMahon co-hosted Give Gala 2016, a sold-out charity event where attendees offer their services and talents, rather than money, to support hospitalized children.

KBI Biopharma

McMahon is also currently the Director of Impact Investment at KBI Biopharma, a biopharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing organization that accelerates the development of innovative discoveries into life-changing biological products. [8]
