Paul Jadin has announced that he will be leaving his post as head of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. to direct Thrive, a regional economic development organization serving south central Wisconsin.
Jadin is scheduled to depart WEDC in early November. The WEDC board will be seeking out applicants and interviewing individuals for the CEO position over the next few weeks. Â Interested individuals can apply at http://www.wedc.org starting on Monday, September 24.
Jadin, the former Mayor of Green Bay, was appointed to the post by Gov. Scott Walker, who thanked him helping to transform the old Department of Commerce into the WEDC.
“Under Paul’s leadership, WEDC now has a strong foundation to build off of as it moves into the next phase of encouraging private sector job growth in Wisconsin,” Walker said in a press release. “I asked the WEDC board to help conduct a nationwide search for a top-caliber CEO. I look forward to reviewing the recommendations made by the board in the near future.”
