World Trade Center Utah CEO named. Lew Cramer will help local businesses broaden international connections

Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. has them, and the man he tapped Friday to head the fledgling World Trade Center Utah is charged with helping local businesses broaden theirs.

Huntsman named Lew Cramer president and chief executive officer of World Trade Center Utah, effective in September. The WTC Utah is in the process of gaining a charter from the World Trade Center Association, which includes 287 centers worldwide, 58 of them in the United States.

"There is, I think, a time and a place for all communities to really begin to take globalization seriously," Huntsman said. "Through today’s announcement, it is proof positive that we are in fact reaching out to find the best and the brightest to run our globalization and international trade efforts."
