Alan Walker recently announced that business owner and entrepreneur, Carolyn Boser Newhouse has accepted the appointment as Deputy Secretary of Innovation and Investment and will lead the commonwealth’s efforts to create family-sustaining jobs through advancing technology and innovation, supporting business growth and bolstering Pennsylvania’s robust tourism industry.
Secretary Walker said the new position was created through an opportunity to streamline three departments and have this newly created position oversee those departments. The Office of Innovation and Investment (OII) will consolidate the Offices of Business Assistance, Technology Investment and Tourism, Marketing and Film offices, under a single Deputy Secretary, to improve interagency communication and cross-collaboration within the department.
