McCormack, President and CEO of the American Arbitration Association. “Steve puts innovative ideas into service and drives growth.”
Steve in his own words
“In joining AAA, it reminds me of the roles I served at LexisNexis with then CEO Bob Romeo (now CEO of Anaqua), and most recently my role with Ed Walters at Fastcase. Two “all in” CEO’s who added just enough external talent to reinforce their visions, but the focus was all about developing the talent within and daring to make decisions to best serve the program, the team and the clients.
Brigitte too is one of those “all in” CEO’s and my role is to similarly add momentum in putting the program, team and AAA clients first, especially as every firm, business and peer chases and harnesses new technologies without losing focus on its core mission. I’ve always been drawn to being a part of a program in transition where if you get it right, you have the chance to be part of something special that will stand the test of time and the AAA is one of those mission driven organizations where the Board, CEO and team all serve the mission and move as one.”
Good luck Steve. You will be missed!
