28. Eric Gertler, President and CEO, Empire State Development
When Eric Gertler was nominated to lead Empire State Development last year, the state’s economic development arm had been rocked by Amazon’s stunning HQ2 exit and the criminal convictions of key figures running the governor’s marquee Buffalo Billion program. Now Gertler, the former executive chairman of U.S. News & World Report, faces the even more daunting task of reviving the state’s economy amid the worst slump since the Great Depression.

He also faces the task of ensuring that Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park moves ahead. Stay tuned.
