For the first time in 25 years, an influential New York City business organization is gaining new leadership — and it’s coming from across the Hudson River.
Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop, 48, is set to become the president and chief executive officer of the Partnership for New York City, a nearly 50-year-old nonprofit group of about 300 corporate and entrepreneurial firms committed to the Big Apple’s economic development. He’ll succeed outgoing CEO Kathy Wilde, who has been at the position for a quarter-century.
