A Chat about Innovation and the Region with Rob Wonderling, President and CEO, Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce
Abstract
Rob Wonderling became President and CEO of the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce just shy of one year ago. The Chamber is a business advocacy organization of 5,000 member companies, including a growing nonprofit sector that promotes growth and economic development in the 11-county region and advocates for sound public policy while delivering strong member services and programs.
A former Pennsylvania State Senator, Rob arrived with an agenda to advance the region’s businesses, particularly by strengthening the entrepreneurial and tech communities. His goals reflect his lifelong interest in innovation and economic expansion. During his seven years in the State Senate, Rob served as Chairman of the Transportation Committee and as a member of several other committees. He focused on promoting economic development and job creation, modernizing infrastructure, maintaining access to high-quality health care services, helping young entrepreneurs and families prosper, reducing the tax burden, and creating a more livable region.
Rob is also on the governing board of Select Greater Philadelphia, the economic development/marketing affiliate of the Chamber. Through Select Greater Philadelphia and the Chamber Rob seeks to unite the wisdom of the private and nonprofit sectors in incubating new ideas to create the catalyst for change this region needs.
