Greater St. Louis Inc., begins search for CEO
Greater St. Louis, Inc., has launched its national search for its next chief executive officer, and selected executive search firm Jorgenson Pace to lead the process. Former CEO Jason Hall now serves in a similar post with the Columbus, Ohio Chamber of Commerce.
“Greater St. Louis, Inc. is a truly essential organization that has unified the business and civic communities and focused the St. Louis region on growth,” said Kathleen M. Mazzarella, chair, president, and CEO of Graybar; member of the GSL board, and chair of the GSL committee overseeing the CEO search process.
“As GSL transitions into our next phase, our new CEO will have a unique opportunity to not only strengthen our organization for the future, but to build on our initial success to elevate St. Louis as a national model for business and civic leadership.”
GSL Inc. was established under the guiding principle of driving inclusive economic growth so that everyone in the St. Louis region has the opportunity to thrive.
“That is our unwavering mission, and nothing has changed or will change,” the organization said in a release.
“As we engage in a national search for a new CEO, the Search Committee has conducted its due diligence in selecting a firm to lead the search that will ensure that diverse candidates are recruited and considered for the role. Jorgenson Pace has conducted executive searches across the country, and more than half of their placements have been minorities and women.
