Kenneth S. Schuman served as executive director of New York City's Office of Economic Development and as NYC Commissioner for Economic Development under Mayor Edward I. Koch from 1978 to 1981,[1][2] during the period following the city's brush with bankruptcy.[3] After Deputy Mayor Peter J. Solomon’s departure in June 1980, Schuman was New York City's top economic development official until the appointment of Karen N. Gerard as Deputy Mayor in February 1981.[4][5] Schuman continued serving as Commissioner until December 31, 1981[2] when he resigned to work as vice president in the corporate finance division of the investment banking firm, Lehman Brothers Kuhn Loeb.[1]
He also was Managing Partner of Affordable Living L.P., which developed housing for low- and moderate-income families based on New Jersey's Mount Laurel doctrine.[6] In addition, Schuman was executive director of the Queens County Mental Health Society[7] and the first executive director of the Lower East Side Family Union, an innovative social services agency helping to prevent unnecessary foster care placement of children.[8][9]
In retirement he co-founded, with his wife Wendy, the nonprofit coaching program Grad Life Choices, which enlists over 100 volunteer coaches to help young college grads begin their career journey,[10] and he wrote books on career development and on the life of Michelangelo.[11][12][13]
