Rachel Loeb Named to Top Spot at NYCEDC
Rachel Loeb has been named president and CEO of the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC). Loeb has been NYCEDC’s acting president since March, when she succeeded James Patchett.
“New York City will build a recovery for all of us by driving economic growth in every neighborhood,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio. “That’s a tall order – but visionary, forward-thinking leaders like Rachel Loeb can help us get it done.”
Added Vicki Been, Deputy Mayor for Housing and Economic Recovery, “During her tenure as NYCEDC’s COO, Rachel Loeb met the unexpected challenges of the past year with grace and effectiveness. She demonstrated exceptional leadership on matters ranging from obtaining necessary PPE and technology at the height of the pandemic to creating the city’s first-in-its-class Pandemic Response Lab. Rachel has the tenacity, vision, and thoughtfulness to deliver on the mayor’s plan for a recovery for all of us.”
