The Montgomery County Economic Development Corporation (MCEDC) is the official public-private economic organization representing Montgomery County, Maryland. MCEDC is a start-up organization which was incorporated in the fall of 2015 by unanimous approval of the County Council. MCEDC will replace both the Department of Economic Development (DED) and its private-sector-led affiliate, the Montgomery Business Development Corporation (MBDC). Privatizing economic development is an example of the forward and cooperative thinking of the County Executive, County Council, and the business community in their quest to maintain Montgomery County’s competitiveness as Maryland’s economic development engine and as a recognized national leader in biotechnology, health information technology, and cybersecurity.
The Montgomery County Economic Development Corporation is seeking a dynamic, high-energy executive who is focused on working in collaboration with private and public sector stakeholders and investors to create a global brand and to serve as the face of economic development in the County. MCEDC seeks a leader who is passionate about driving sustainable job growth and aggressively pursuing the creation of effective partnerships and relationships throughout the County and the region. The CEO will drive the creation of a Countywide economic development strategy that capitalizes on the rich diversity of the region while aggressively marketing the region’s exceptional value to global markets.
