Anthony Pancella Iii is a Business Owner and Corporate Officer of Public Benefit Corp. at Jake’s 58 Casino Hotel & Suffolk County Regional OTB Corp.. Colleagues describe him as "Anthony is an intelligent, goal-driven and decisive employer and leader. Most people in positions of authority aspire to actually lead people rather than merely have a title, but they fail because they lack Anthony's intestinal fortitude to make the tough calls and follow through with the decisions once they are made. Much of what I learned about leading people I learned from him, and I apply those lessons daily in my supervisory role at Plainview Hospital." and "The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint to keep from meddling with them while they do it. Anthony is one of the best leaders, organizers, and mentors I know. He is a great listener and a wealth of wisdom. "Give us the tools and we will finish the job", is a motto that he lives by. I would stand by his side, go into a fox hole with him and ask his advice constantly. Anthony taught me that the big shots are only the little shots who keep shooting. Everyone can change the world and make a difference. You just can’t give up. Anthony does not give up. He is a true leader of Long Island. I am proud to call him a friend."
