HARTFORD, CT – JUNE 28, 2017 – The MetroHartford Alliance announced today that Oz Griebel, the President and CEO of the Alliance since its inception in 2001, has informed the organization of his decision to leave his position at the end of the calendar year to pursue other leadership opportunities.
Joe Savage, Executive Vice Chair of Webster Bank and Chair of the Alliance Board said: “We have been fortunate to have had Oz at the helm for more than 16 years leading the Alliance’s economic development efforts in the Region. As a result of Oz’s leadership, we have established numerous initiatives that have strengthened the private sector, especially during challenging economic times.
