South Island Prosperity Partnership‘s CEO is stepping down on March 15 for a business opportunity.

Emilie de Rosenroll is the founding CEO of SIPP, which has its roots in an Economic Development Committee started by The Chamber before becoming its own organization in 2016. The Rising Economy Taskforce and the Centre for Ocean Applied Sustainable Technology (COAST) are among de Rosenroll’s achievements.

“On behalf of the SIPP Board of Directors, I am very grateful for the tremendous contribution Emilie has made to the organization and region,” SIPP’s Board Chair Frank Bourree said.

SIPP is working with an executive search firm to help find its next CEO.
