Philadelphia – April 29, 2010 – The British American Business Council (BABC) of Greater Philadelphia, an affiliate of the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, has announced the recent appointment of its new Executive Director, Jane Hirschhorn Rosenberg.
Ms. Rosenberg, 35, brings more than 14 years of marketing and international business experience to the BABC. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, she previously served as Assistant Director of the BABC from 1996 to 1999. After receiving a Fulbright Scholarship, she studied post-NAFTA Mexico and pursued her MBA from the Instituto Tecnologico Autonomo de Mexico (ITAM). Most recently, she was a Manager for Deloitte & Touche’s National Consumer Business Industry Marketing Group.
“The BABC is an invaluable resource to companies doing business overseas, and I am thrilled to be a part of the organization again,” said Ms. Rosenberg.
“We are fortunate to welcome Jane back to the BABC after her professional growth with Deloitte and her Fulbright,” said Neil Boyden Tanner, President of Tanner and of BABC of Greater Philadelphia, and Deputy Chief Counsel of CIGNA International. “Jane brings a wealth of knowledge, cross-cultural communication and marketing experience. Her enthusiasm and first hand understanding of international business will greatly benefit the BABC in continuing its role as the leading transatlantic business network.”
Ms. Rosenberg’s appointment follows the retirement of Sheryl Rothberg, who served the BABC since 1993.
At the heart of the action of the 2012 London Olympic Games, the Olympic Stadium has finally reached full height, 60m above the field of play, and is on track to be finished by the end of summer 2011. One innovative aspect of this stadium is that the lighting towers are located above the Stadium roof to ensure the best lighting angles and to avoid dazzling spectators, photographers and competitors.
