SALT LAKE CITY — Former Utah governor and U.S. ambassador Jon M. Huntsman Jr., has taken a new high-profile post in the state.
He was named the new chairman of World Trade Center Utah. The organization promotes international business development and works to raise the state’s global profile working in concert with the Governor’s Office of Economic Development.
“Ambassador Huntsman’s unparalleled international expertise, extensive business experience and substantial role in founding WTC Utah uniquely qualify him to serve the state and Utah business community in this capacity,” said outgoing Chairman Scott Anderson. “We are fortunate for his willingness to lead our efforts to make Utah the ‘crossroads of the world.’”
