Metro Vancouver’s Regional Economic Prosperity Service is pleased to welcome Katie Fitzmaurice in the key role of Vice President, Collaboration.

Responsible for identifying and developing key partnership opportunities for mobilizing collective action around shared initiatives to strengthen target industries and sectors, Fitzmaurice will drive the service’s efforts to advance equitable and sustainable prosperity throughout the region by bringing forward best-in-class economic development approaches that will further inspire the world to invest in Metro Vancouver.

“The Regional Economic Prosperity Service complements and amplifies the economic development efforts of our member jurisdictions,” said Jerry Dobrovolny, Commissioner of Metro Vancouver. “There is excellent work being done in the economic development space today — our goal is to connect and coordinate these efforts on a regional scale to achieve better results together than any one agency can do on their own.”

Fitzmaurice will head up the team that leads engagement with partners, including First Nations, boards of trade, industry organizations, the education and talent development systems, non-profits, and local governments to foster cross-sectoral, multi-jurisdictional collaboration around shared strategic economic development priorities of regional importance.

“We’re confident that Fitzmaurice’s expertise will help the region coalesce around and advance regional economic development priorities to spur full economic recovery, to advance economic resiliency, and, ultimately, to usher in our next economic renaissance,” said David Flaks, president of the Regional Economic Prosperity Service.
