Professor Fabian Monds, Chairman of the Shadow Board of Invest Northern Ireland, has announced two further senior appointments to complete the management team for the new economic development agency.
The post of Managing Director of Entrepreneurship and Enterprise in Invest NI will be filled by Professor Terri Scott, who is currently Director of Development Duties at the University of Ulster. She also holds the post of Director of the Northern Ireland Centre of Entrepreneurship. Professor Scott’s previous posts have included those of Dean of Regional Development and Head of School (Computing and Mathematical Sciences) at the University.
Ms Tracy Meharg will be appointed as the Agency’s Managing Director of Innovation and Capability Development. She is currently the Executive Director in the Industrial Development Board with responsibility for the ICT sector. She joined the IDB in 1988 as a graduate entrant and has worked in various roles prior to her appointment to Executive Director in January 1999. Prior to that she worked in the private sector in the areas of PR and Marketing.
While the effective date of the appointments has yet to be decided, the Chief Executive Designate of Invest NI, Leslie Morrison, welcomed the two new appointments: “Terri Scott and Tracy Meharg will join Chris Buckland and Leslie Ross to complete the top team of Invest Northern Ireland.
“I know that both Terri and Tracy will bring to their respective roles valuable experience coupled with tremendous energy and enthusiasm. I look forward to working with them when they take up their posts.
