EXECUTIVE WATCH PERSPECTIVE
By Anthony J. LoPinto

Last week, New York City's Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced the appointment of Robert Lieber, a managing director of Lehman Brothers Real Estate Group, to serve as president of the New York City Economic Development Corporation, the primary vehicle for implementing the City's economic-development strategy. When I heard about the appointment, I was impressed that the Mayor turned to such an accomplished and well-respected real estate professional to direct this initiative. We often hear about other successful real estate executives who leave behind the "big bucks" to assume critical public-service roles that help revitalize our cities by running government like a business. Let's hope this trend grows, and more successful business executives enter government to raise the bar and end 'business as usual' in the political arena.
