As evidenced by his many professional and civic roles, Rob understands what makes modern cities thrive,” said Kathryn Wylde, president and CEO of the Partnership for New York City. “Steve and I look forward to working with Rob to help propel the New York City business community forward through advocacy, investment, and strategic private-public partnerships.”
“I am honored to work alongside Steve, Kathy and the entire membership as we pursue an agenda to keep New York strong, safe, prosperous, and fair,” said Speyer. “I look forward to collaborating with our public sector partners to strengthen and diversify the city’s economy and ensure that we create meaningful opportunities for all New Yorkers.”
