In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Global Business Alliance -- an American organization that advocates for an open economy and serves as a voice for international companies in the U.S. -- launched a five-part web series called Jumpstart American Jobs. During each episode Nancy McLernon, president and CEO of the Global Business Alliance, interviews industry leaders from different verticals to discover how they’re coping with the fallout from the pandemic and how we can move forward.
