Thomas Dodds will be the new chief executive officer for the Sault Ste. Marie Economic Development Corporation starting April 4, 2011.
Dodds was previously director of international business for FedNor and has a vast experience in the public, private and non-profit sectors.
“It will be a real privilege to help lead the SSMEDC team and support the growth, development and sustainability of the Sault Ste. Marie economy,” said Dodds in a press release. “I am keen to start working with local business, industry, the community and regional partners to enable the city to be more globally competitive.”
Dave Murphy, executive director of the SSMEDC’s Business Sault Ste. Marie division, served as acting CEO during the past few months following the resignation of longtime CEO Bruce Strapp, who stepped down to take a position with the provincial government.
