From the Article
President Obama has added a slew of well-known business names to his jobs advisory panel, including American Express CEO Ken Chenault, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, and legendary Silicon Valley venture capitalist John Doerr.
Some names announced earlier for the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness included America Online founder Steve Case and General Electric Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Immelt, who will chair the panel. In general, the list is high-profile and high-tech, showing the administration's efforts to "Win the Future," as the president is fond of saying. The list, aimed at improving the president's ties to business, also includes an old Chicago friend of the president, Penny Pritzker of the Hyatt hotels fortune.
Here are today's appointments:
