NYC tourism leadership and economic advisory changes
Overview
Fred Dixon has been appointed as the President and CEO of NYC Tourism + Conventions, a role he will officially assume on December 1, 2026. Dixon previously led the organization from 2014 to 2024 and is returning to the position following his tenure as President and CEO of Brand USA.
In conjunction with this leadership appointment, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has established a 15-member Business Advisory Council. This council, featuring leaders such as RXR CEO Scott Rechler and Steiner Studios chairman Douglas Steiner, is intended to provide strategic guidance on economic growth in sectors including finance, technology, and life sciences. The formation of this council has drawn mixed reactions due to the perceived tension between the Mayor’s democratic socialist platform and his engagement with major business figures.
