Allegra's CEO Jeffrey Young said that, "New York City is one of the most globally influential cities in the world, not to mention one of the largest coffee drinking. It seemed only right to launch our first ever Global CEO Forum in New York, a city where cultural diversity, creativity and innovation is celebrated".
