The absence of prominent New York City CEOs at a meet and greet with Zohran Mamdani signals a lack of interest in his mayoral candidacy. Many regarded the meeting as unimportant, citing scheduling conflicts. Opinions suggest that business leaders feel the city is beyond saving and prefer to maintain the status quo with the current mayor, Eric Adams. There is a prevailing sentiment that Mamdani's leftist stance does not inspire confidence among the business community, and many are considering their exit strategies.
Most business leaders I know are looking for an exit strategy rather than a strategy to deal with a mayor Mamdani.
Those sentiments were pretty universal among according to sources at the banks of the CEOs who didn't attend.
