ATLANTA—Brian McGowan has only lived in Atlanta for four years, but he has become one of the region's biggest fans. (Of course, as executive vice president and COO of the Metro Atlanta Chamber, he is paid to do just that.) McGowan enthusiastically painted a picture of the regions' economic development prospects during his keynote remarks at RealShare Atlanta on April 30.
“We have a great story to tell,” McGowan said. “I love selling Atlanta around the country.”
McGowan's previous economic development posts include serving as Assistant US Secretary of Commerce and as California's Deputy Secretary for Economic Development and Commerce, the top economic development position in that state.
