World Business Chicago CEO Zopp Will Step Down
World Business Chicago president and CEO Andrea L. Zopp will step down from her position at the end of the calendar year, WBC and the Lightfoot administration said Monday. Zopp is moving on to an opportunity at Cleveland Avenue, a privately-held venture capital firm that focuses on the food and beverage sector.
“Andy leaves a strong team and board of directors whose collective work and passion for Chicago will continue uninterrupted,” said Mellody Hobson, WBC vice chair. “Andy’s leadership of WBC has led to many impactful programs and initiatives and certainly helped guide the organization through the challenges presented by the pandemic.”
Michael Fassnacht, who serves as chief marketing officer for the city of Chicago, a position currently held within WBC, will serve additionally as interim president and CEO. A search for a new president and CEO will begin in early 2021
