Jamie Metzl is now a partner in a newly formed investment holding company, Cranemere LLC. Cranemere will acquire middle market companies around the world that it will build and hold for the very long term. Jamie is also now a senior fellow of the Asia society and serves on the board of HIAS, the Jewish refugee agency, and is co-chair of Partnership for a Secure America, a bipartisan national security organization that he and others founded. He completed his 10th Ironman triathlon in November, which he said “almost killed him but, in some abstract sort of way, must have made him stronger.”

In May, Gary Cohen announced the launch of a new Leadership App he’s created for iPhone users as a follow-on to his “Just Ask Leadership” book, which he published in 2009 to help  create a culture of question-based leadership.  For more information, go to Gary’s website.

And, congratulations to Stace Lindsay, who is launching the 8th class of the Central American Leadership in November.
