What do a former lawyer, a policy wonk, a game tester and a transit official have in common? Not much, except one very important fact: They work in the growing region we call MetroWest.
By clicking below, you can meet some of eclectic people that help drive the economic engine that is MetroWest.
We decided to launch our new publication, MetroWest495 Biz, with this special 10 to Watch feature as a way to help our readers get a quick pulse on the diversity of the region. It was also a good excuse for us to reconnect with key leaders in the region.
The 10 people we selected have been on our radar for quite some time, and we’re happy to introduce them to our readers. We’re sure you’ll have a “Gee, I didn’t know that company was located here,” moment as you flip through the profiles.
And hopefully, you’ll find an inspiring anecdote or story to aid you in your own career. If there’s one thing to be learned from the 10 individuals, it’s that a passion for your job is not only nice to have — it’s required for great success.
