LOUIS KATSOS
A Commitment to Harlem
LOUIS KATSOS is the President of Jekmar Associates and President of the New York Chapter of AHI (American Hellenic Institute). Born in Greece, his love affair and commitment to Harlem started some 35 years ago when he met Lloyd Williams, president and CEO of The Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce, while Katsos was serving as the executive vice president of Tishman Construction. That meeting led to both men working and consulting on the 135th Street Strivers Row Project.
Years later Katsos is now a board member of The Greater Harlem Chamber. During the early days of the pandemic when Governor Cuomo was asking for help from the President and other federal sources, it was Katsos’s company that donated ventilators to hospitals in New York City and upstate New York. His company also donated food to community organizations throughout New York City. “I feel honored to help a city that has given me so much,” he explained.
