Former Crain\u2019s Chicago Business<\/a> publisher David Snyder, who spent 33 years building his personal equity with the city\u2019s business community, is setting his sights on the challenge of reducing violence and unemployment in Chicago.<\/p>\n

Snyder, 55, has been named chief operating officer of Chicago CRED (Creating Real Economic Destiny), a nonprofit initiative launched by Emerson Collective<\/a> and headed by Arne Duncan, the former U.S. Secretary of Education and former Chicago Public Schools chief.<\/p>\n

The program is committed to \"lifting up young, at-risk men by preparing them to enter the workforce and matching them with real job opportunities.\"\u00a0As COO Snyder will work with business leaders to provide jobs, invest in the community and support entrepreneurs, according to a statement released Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve spent over 30 years observing this fantastic city and I\u2019m eager to do this work because the troubling spike in gun violence is not only a humanitarian crisis, but an economic one as well,\u201d Snyder said. \u201cIt overshadows all that is great and special about Chicago.\u201d<\/p>\n

Snyder, who rose from researcher to reporter to editor and eventually to publisher of Crain\u2019s Chicago Business, resigned <\/a>after 33 years at the end of 2016. Pressures for higher profits demanded by KC Crain, scion of Detroit-based Crain Communications, were believed to have led to Snyder\u2019s surprise departure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
