Chairman of Jampro, Don Wehby.
Jampro chairman, Senator Don Wehby, said the agency’s new board of directors will be focusing on pivoting the agency’s economic development activities into the selected priority sectors of agribusiness, digital services and manufacturing, as Jamaica seeks to rebound from the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and build a more diversified economy.
The new board of directors, which met for the first time on Thursday, January 21, 2021, consists of private and public sector leaders with experience in a variety of sectors, including agribusiness, outsourcing, tourism, manufacturing, creative industries and banking.
Senator Wehby said this experience in a wide range of industries would serve well in leading the agency in its transformation to a sales and marketing led agency and in the development of action plans and policy advocacy to stimulate transformation of the business environment.
