Ep. 117: New North, Inc. CEO Patti Habeck

In December Patti Habeck became the third-ever president and CEO of New North, Inc. -- the 18-county economic development organization serving Northeast Wisconsin -- after 14 years with the nonprofit Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin. A few months into her new role, she sits down with Ann and Kate on this week's episode of NEW Manufacturing Insights to discuss the challenges ahead for New North, Inc., what it has been like taking over a "small but mighty" organization, and what it has felt like to shift gears. She tells the co-hosts that collaborations are key, including those New North has with NEWMA and Insight, going forward. She also describes her priorities leading New North, including as they relate to manufacturers and technology, and provides a preview of the upcoming New North Summit, which will be held June 9 at Lambeau Field.To learn more about New North, Inc., visit thenewnorth.com.Thank you to Stoke RGA for sponsoring this episode.
