Featured Guest: Lori Healey, Chief Executive O�cer of the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority (MPEA), owner of McCormick Place and Navy Pier

Lori Healey has a resume that spans the

worlds of business and government, taking

on big assignments for two Chicago mayors between private

sector roles. Graduating with both master’s and bachelor’s

degrees from Kansas State University, Healey began her career

working as an aide to former Kansas Governer John Carlin. Since

then, she’s held several senior positions in the administration of

former Mayor Richard M. Daley, including Chief of Sta and

Commissioner of Planning and Development, leading the city’s

unsuccessful bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympics. While she

also led the city’s planning e ort for the 2012 NATO Summit for

Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

Outside government, Healey has worked at architecture firm

Perkins & Will as a principal, Chicago development firm John

Buck, and investment firm Tur Partners, as CEO. In 2015, Healey

assumed her current role at McPier, currently undergoing a

major push to boost McCormick Place’s competitiveness versus

other big-city convention destinations. Healy is a tough,

seasoned politico who’s bet on a new McPier hotel, DePaul

arena, and Navy Pier makeover to lure visitors is looking good.
