Andy Street says job creation will be his single biggest priority in his second term as West Midlands Mayor.
The Conservative mayor spoke to BBC Politics Midlands after being re-elected on Saturday.
Mr Street, a former managing director of John Lewis, said the region needed to regain momentum after its economy took a horrible hit from coronavirus.
He beat Labour s Liam Byrne in a second preference count as the Tories made big gains in the region.
Mr Street, 57, received a total of 314,669 votes, while Mr Byrne picked up 267,626 votes for second place.
