Co-Chairman of the Board and Office of the President, Loews Corporation; Chairman, Loews Hotels
Jonathan M. Tisch is Co-Chairman of the Board and a member of the Office of the President of Loews Corporation, one of the largest diversified financial holding companies in the U.S., and is also Chairman of its subsidiary, Loews Hotels. During his tenure as CEO from 1989 through 2011, Tisch engineered Loews Hotels' expansion and emergence as a leading luxury hotel brand by infusing the properties with a widely praised corporate culture that places a high value on partnerships that empower employees, satisfy customers, contribute to communities, and improve the bottom line. Tisch initiated the Loews Hotels Good Neighbor Policy over 20 years ago, the first of its kind in the hospitality industry. Today, the Good Neighbor program underscores his enduring commitment to good corporate citizenship, social responsibility, and the health of our environment and communities. The Loews Good Neighbor Policy is a recipient of the U.S. President's Service Award.
Believing you can do well and do good at the same time, Tisch is a champion of corporate responsibility and has devoted a lifetime to active citizenship—an idea that uses the power of partnerships and grassroots participation to solve seemingly intractable problems. Tisch served as the Vice-Chairman of The Welfare to Work Partnership, and currently serves on the Board of Trustees for Tufts University, where he is also the naming benefactor of the Jonathan M. Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service. He is also on the Board of the Tribeca Film Institute.
Tisch is the author of three best-selling books that explore his leadership philosophy and civic engagement: The Power of We: Succeeding Through Partnerships, Chocolates on the Pillow Aren't Enough: Reinventing the Customer Experience, and Citizen You: Doing Your Part to Change the World. He is also the host of the Emmy-nominated and Gracie Award-winning television series, Beyond the Boardroom with Jonathan Tisch, where he speaks with some of America's preeminent CEOs and business luminaries in one-on-one interviews. Tisch is a co-owner and a member of the Board of Directors of the New York Football Giants and the team's Treasurer. He was instrumental in bringing the 2014 Super Bowl to the metropolitan area and is a co-chair of the 2014 NY/NJ Super Bowl Host Committee. This is Mr. Tisch's nineteenth year as Conference Chair.
