Alexis Glick, who was an anchor for CNBC and Fox Business Network before leaving business journalism in late 2009, was named Friday as the chief executive officer of the Gen Youth Foundation.
As CEO, Glick will be responsible for coordinating public, private and health professional partnerships that bring together knowledge, resources and experience.

“Her vast experience and relationships in the business world coupled with her experience as a mother positions her as a wonderful addition to help change the school environment through increasing opportunities for eating healthier and getting more physical activity,” said Thomas P.
