Cristy Garcia-Thomas Takes Helm at GMC | Milwaukee News

Cristy Garcia-Thomas is now the permanent president and CEO of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, stepping into the role after eight months as interim leader following Joel Brennan’s departure to run for governor — a bid that ended with less than five percent of the vote. With a proven track record from roles at Advocate Health, the United Performing Arts Fund, and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Garcia-Thomas is focused on collaboration, innovation, and positioning Milwaukee to lead change rather than just react to it. She plans to deepen connections among business, nonprofit, and education leaders to tackle regional challenges in fiscal strength, education, infrastructure, and public safety — all while building a stronger economy and creating opportunities for future generations.
