Mamdani Persuades C.E.O.s to Join His Business Advisory Council
Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist who has struggled to win over Wall Street, intends to use the council to help him invigorate New York City’s economy.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced his selections for the city's Business Advisory Council on Thursday. The 15-member council will consist of leaders from Wall Street, real estate, fashion, technology, healthcare, and other sectors. The council will meet quarterly with Mayor Mamdani and Deputy Mayor Julie Su to discuss economic development.
Mamdani's appointment of these business leaders comes after criticism over his delay in appointing advisors. The council aims to make New York the best place to start a company, grow a business, and build a career.
