Greater St. Louis, Inc. Announces CEO Transition

Greater St. Louis, Inc. announced today that Jason Hall has accepted the position of CEO with the Columbus Partnership and will step down from his role with GSL in the coming weeks.

"Our board, staff, and investors are deeply grateful to Jason for his leadership and his nearly 12 years of service to St. Louis and its business community, both with and prior to the formation of GSL," said GSL Founding Chair and Executive Chairman of Enterprise Mobility Andy Taylor. "Jason was a driving force in creating the GSL vision and enhancing our metro's ability to compete with a unified voice to drive change and economic growth. Under his leadership, GSL has put major wins on the board and, in just four short years, is already recognized by our peers as a best-in-class organization."

GSL's board of directors will engage in a national search to identify and recruit an exceptionally qualified CEO to guide GSL into the organization's next chapter. While this national search process is underway, Chief Real Estate Investment Officer Dustin Allison will serve as interim CEO of GSL.

"This is an exceptional opportunity for Jason, and we wish him all the best as he embarks on this new chapter of his career. We have a world-class leadership team that will continue the work to execute the STL 2030 Jobs Plan, foster inclusive growth, and continue the momentum our region has built.

"GSL won't miss a beat during this transition process," added Taylor.

"I am deeply grateful to my friend and GSL's founding chairman, Andy Taylor; GSL's entire board and investors; and the amazing staff team," said Hall. "The vision of the STL 2030 Jobs Plan and the unified leadership of the St. Louis metro's business community is creating unstoppable momentum and leading my hometown in a bold new direction with growth and opportunity for all. It has been an honor beyond words to be a part of this exciting transformation underway. I will continue to champion St. Louis reaching its full potential from afar, and I look forward to this next phase in my career in metropolitan civic leadership."
