The Company is in search of a President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to serve as a dynamic economic driver for the region. The successful candidate will work with the Board of Directors to lead the organization, execute the strategic plan, and be responsible for delivering financial and investment results.

This high-profile role demands a leader who can attract and deliver current companies, investments, and jobs while also retaining and expanding existing ones. The CEO will be expected to foster senior-level relationships with all funding partners, including federal, provincial, and municipal entities,



and to provide business-focused leadership with a results-oriented mindset.

The ideal candidate for the President and CEO position at the company is a relationship-focused leader with a proven track record of engaging and building meaningful partnerships with a diverse range of stakeholders. This includes government entities, national and international business communities, academic institutions, the public, and the media.
The role requires a leader with a bias for action, initiative, and a strong focus on driving results, as well as an innovative and entrepreneurial spirit. The candidate should be deeply passionate about community building through economic development and be an empowering coach and mentor who fosters a team culture that values service, inclusivity, equity, and diversity.
