The interim tag has been taken off.

Gov. Scott Walker announced today that Reed Hall, who stepped in as CEO after Paul Jadin departed, has officially earned the top job at the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation.

“Reed brings a fresh perspective and strong leadership to the WEDC,” Walker said in a statement. “He will be guided by years of experience and a record of effective management in the private sector. I look forward to working with Reed and the WEDC to continue to improve Wisconsin’s business climate.”

Hall’s background is in healthcare. He has an M.S. in Health Law from the University of Pittsburgh and worked at Marshfield Clinic from 1976-2010.
