Paul Jadin joined MadREP as President /CEO in November 2012. Prior to that, Paul served as both the Secretary of
Commerce and Secretary/CEO of the new Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation since January 2011. He
was charged with transitioning from a state agency that had responsibility for economic development and
regulatory activities to a public/private authority that is 100% focused on economic development. That
reorganization has brought an expanded emphasis on international activities, with networks being developed in
over a dozen countries; it has fostered a significant investment in entrepreneurship and innovation; and it has
enabled the state to better understand and support its key industry sectors. Mr. Jadin has been president and CEO
of the Green Bay Area Chamber of Commerce, which has 1,400 members employing 93,000 workers. He directly
oversaw economic development, government affairs, member services, and education functions. Additionally in
partnership with Northeast Wisconsin Technical College, he led the development and growth of a 50,000-sq.-ft.
business incubator, which has become a model for collaborative efforts involving small business activities. He has
also served two terms as Mayor of Green Bay. As Mayor, he led economic development efforts that yielded a 50
percent increase in the tax base over his two terms in office and represented the city in all private and
intergovernmental negotiations, including the Lambeau expansion agreement with the Green Bay Packers and the
fee-for-service agreement with the Oneida Nation. In partnership with the Department of Commerce, he established
the award-winning On Broadway Main Street Program. Mr. Jadin studied Political Science in Northwestern
