Larry Harte, Executive Director
Global Chamber® Cincinnati
Larry Harte graduated from Vanderbilt University with a degree in Civil Engineering. He worked for companies ranging from engineering to sales and marketing and banking before entering the world of politics. After being elected to the Glendale, CO city council in 2002, Larry was mayor for eight years until he was term limited and returned to the private sector. He continued to work in the community as the CEO of the chamber of commerce and to lead economic development efforts for the city. Noteworthy projects included new land use and redevelopment, decommissioning a wastewater treatment plant, integrating fire departments, creating a city center, and building a rugby stadium. These experiences helped place him into a variety of consulting roles - most recently as the COO of a construction company. He is well known for his collaborative leadership style and his results oriented approach to solving problems. There are not many people with Larry’s experience in government, non-profit management, and for-profit business. It’s this collective experience combined with his passion for building relationships and helping companies thrive that fuels his interest in the Global Chamber of Commerce.
Larry served on the Boards of the Denver Metro Mayors Caucus, YMCA, Livewell Colorado, the Kaiser Permanente Colfax Marathon, the Four Mile Historic Park, and the Better Business Bureau, as well as the Symmes Township Finance Committee. Architecture, music, health, soccer, and bike riding are among his interests. Larry and his wife Heather met in seventh grade. They have two children, both in high school.
