Few people know Cincinnati business like George Vincent, managing partner and chairman of Cincinnati’s largest law firm, Dinsmore. The former chairman of the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber is one of the most respected business leaders in the region. He helped Bob Castellini purchase controlling ownership of the Reds, committed Dinsmore’s resources to setting up the Minority Business Accelerator at the Chamber and arranged to have the firm represented on the board of the Cincinnati Center City Development Corp. (3CDC).

Vincent and Dinsmore are involved in almost every major Downtown and regional project in some way. Vincent recently sat down with the Cincinnati Enquirer to talk about Downtown’s momentum, Castellini’s influence, growing service at the airport and the lessons of Teddy Roosevelt.
