49. Jim Kelly Jr.

As CEO of JVKellyGroup, Inc. in Huntington, Kelly is extremely active in understanding and charting
the course of major corporations in expense management solutions. Kelly, formerly managing director of Global eSourcing at Deutsche Bank, has become Long Island’s turnaround expert in just two years at the helm. As an executive director, he has taken the Huntington Township Chamber of Commerce from worst to first, restructuring its debt, refinancing its Main Street building, and controlling the highest-grossing Long Island Fall Festival in the history of the organization. Say goodbye to China: The Huntington Chamber is here to stay, thanks to Kelly.
