Tim McEwan will take his economic development experience to a provincial level.
As of Monday, the former Initiatives Prince George president and CEO begins a new position with the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation.
McEwan takes on the role of associate deputy minister and will head the new Major Investments Office.
The office was created as a part of the B.C. Jobs Plan to work with investors to propose significant projects and provide personalized business relationships and services through international trade offices.
McEwan resigned from IPG - the city's arms-length economic development branch - on Jan. 30 after four years on the job, without providing information on what his new position would be or whether or not it would take him from Prince George.
In his resignation letter, he would only say he was leaving to pursue "exciting new opportunities."
