Eric Gertler Biography

Eric Gertler serves as Executive Chairman & CEO of U.S. News & World Report, the nation’s leading news authority on rankings and expert guidance on life decisions, where he has overall responsibility for both editorial and business operations of this multifaceted digital media company. The company reaches almost 450 million people annually.

Prior to his current role, Gertler served as Commissioner/President & CEO-designate of Empire State Development (ESD), New York State’s principal economic development agency, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Gertler’s tenure focused on four main priorities: meeting the unprecedented economic needs of the State arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, completing critical infrastructure, attracting companies to NY state and expanding job growth, and implementing economic initiatives with long-term benefits.

An earlier stint in public service included his role as Executive Vice President of the New York City Economic Development Corporation and Managing Director of the Center for Economic Transformation under multiple mayoral administrations. He was responsible for spurring local economic development by managing over 100 initiatives and directing hundreds of millions of dollars of city investments.

Concurrent with his role at U.S. News, Gertler served as Co-Chairman and Co-Publisher of the New York Daily News from 2015 to 2017. During this time, the newspaper expanded its digital capabilities and reach, partnering with other organizations to market the newspaper and bolster its news coverage in NYC. Gertler subsequently engineered the 2017 sale of the newspaper to the Tribune Company.

Gertler is a Managing Partner of the investment fund Ulysses Ventures, LLC. He serves as trustee to the Zuckerman Family Foundation and oversees its family office. He sits on various boards of several universities, including Harvard Kennedy School, Technion-Israel Institute, Tel Aviv University, and the Weizmann Institute. He is also a trustee of Memorial Sloan Kettering, Chairman of the American-Israel Friendship League, a member of the Young Presidents’ Organization (and former Chair of the Metro NY Chapter), and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. In 2017, Gertler was honored as a Great Immigrant by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

A graduate of Brown University, Gertler holds degrees from the Sorbonne (at the University of Paris), the Institut D’Etudes Politiques in Paris, a law degree from American University (where he served as Editor-in-Chief of the Law Review), and an honorary doctorate from Tel Aviv University. He is the author of “Prying Eyes: Protect Your Privacy From People Who Sell to You, Snoop on You, or Steal From You.”
