The Board of Directors of the Truro & Colchester Partnership for Economic Prosperity is pleased to announce the appointment of Truro native J. David Phillips as its new Chief Executive Officer.
“TCPEP will be taking on big challenges in the coming months and years”, Phillips said, “with a focus on driving the economic growth and prosperity of the Truro Colchester region, building, strengthening, and supporting the business and startup ecosystem, and attracting skilled professionals. We also need to recruit more family doctors, while working with others to close the skills gaps and address the local housing crisis.”
Phillips is an international business leader, with more than 30 years of experience working with companies such as Microsoft and LVMH Group. He started working with TCPEP as a Business Development Officer at the end of 2020.
