Roberta Brien of the Worcester Business Development Corp. has been promoted to executive vice president, the WBDC announced Friday.
Brien is being promoted from her position as vice president of projects and has been with the WBDC for 18 years. She works closely with President and CEO Craig Blais and CFO Kathleen Kelleher on strategic planning, expense monitoring, and project management. The nonprofit works with public and private officials to facilitate development throughout Central Massachusetts, by acquiring land and prepping it for development, arranging government financing, and making personal connections.
In overseeing ongoing project management for WBDC-owned properties, Brien has assisted in creating a variety of mixed-use developments, according to WBDC’s website. She managed the redevelopment of 20 Franklin St. in downtown Worcester, which now houses a co-working space, theater, and restaurant.
Before joining the WBDC, Brien was a project manager at the Massachusetts Office of Real Estate for the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance.
Current projects in the city related to the WBDC include the 44-acre biomanufacturing campus The Reactory, the 650,000-square-foot downtown development The Mercantile Center, and a vacant seven-acre land parcel purchased last year by Clark University.
