Congratulations to Henderson's own, Kyle Wagner, for being named one of North America's Top 50 Economic Development Awardees for 2024 by Consultant Connect! ✨ Thank you for your continuous hard work in making Henderson a premier community. Get to know Kyle and learn about his story! 👇
Let’s hear it for Kyle Wagner, Economic Development Officer for the City of Henderson, Nevada! Kyle is one of North America’s Top 50 Economic Development Awardees for 2024, and we’re excited to share a bit of his story below: Looking back at your career so far, what makes you most proud or fulfilled? I take pride in evaluating the regional landscape and creating programs that fill gaps and address needs. Recently, I launched a Workforce Huddle program that supports local company HR professionals. It addresses a clear need while complementing the existing workforce ecosystem. What shifts do you feel will happen in the profession over the next five years? AI will help us identify target industries, perform workforce modeling, and more. Companies will use AI to inform expansion and relocation decisions, challenging us to consistently provide a meaningful value proposition for our communities. What is your favorite characteristic of your community or region? Why? Henderson is a unique community. We’re the second-largest city in Nevada and are nationally recognized as a leader in public safety and recreation. While we have our own distinct identity, our proximity to Las Vegas gives us access to a world-class airport and entertainment options. What led you to economic development? What’s kept you here? After earning my MBA, I started working at a communications firm. The work wasn’t as fulfilling as I had hoped, but I was assigned an economic development organization (EDO) as a client. I became fascinated by their impact on the region and eventually joined their team! What is your favorite economic development memory? Early in my career, we were incubating a tech company that was offered significant financial incentives to relocate. We worked diligently to retain them, and during a panel discussion I was moderating, the CFO surprised everyone by announcing they were staying. Ready to level up your economic development journey? Join us for ECONOMIX 2024 this November in Salt Lake City, and congratulate the #NATop50 awardees in person! Register here: https://lnkd.in/g-NKGQNd #economicdevelopment #econdev #award
