Join Young Erie Professionals for a Seat at the Table with Pierre McCormick. Pierre is the retired president and CEO of Wisconsin Distributors LP. He is a member of Gannon University's Board of Trustees and serves on the executive committee of the Erie Downtown Development Corporation and was a founding member of the organization. He is the managing partner for Blue Pike Properties, LLC, an impact investment real estate company in Erie. He is also an investor and owner of Lake Erie Rubber & Manufacturing. In 2020, he gifted $1 million to Gannon University, his alma mater ('79), to establish the Pierre McCormick Cyber Learning Center which serves as the academic heart of Gannon's Institute for Health and Cyber Knowledge (I-HACK). Pierre and his wife Kathy are also officers of the family foundation. Pierre resides in Erie and enjoys traveling the country to visit his 5 children and 3 grand children. They are looking forward to welcoming another grandchild to the family soon.
This event will provide YEP members an opportunity to have an intimate conversation with Mr. McCormick over lunch and learn about his career journey, lessons he has learned along the way, and his vision for Erie's future. We will also tour I-HACK and learn about the purpose of the institute within Erie's innovation district.
