Letter from the Founding Member
Global Partners NYC was born from a legacy established during the Bloomberg administration, when New York City became a premier platform for international diplomacy and commerce.
Today, Global Partners NYC expands that mandate, connecting local, state, and federal government, as well as the United Nations ecosystem, to New York’s domestic and international business communities.
We invite leaders, investors, and innovators who share this vision to join us in ensuring that New York remains the world’s meeting place, the crossroads where global leaders succeed.
“Global Partners NYC is not only where global leaders meet — it is where global leaders succeed.”
— Edward Mermelstein, Chairman of the Board
