Press Release 2/4/2025:
After a rigorous and thorough search, the Team NEO Board of Directors is proud to announce Matt Dolan as our new CEO, effective today, February 4, 2025.
A lifelong advocate for Northeast Ohio, Matt is an accomplished attorney, successful businessman, and dedicated public servant. He served in both the Ohio House and Senate, where, as Finance Committee Chair in both chambers, he oversaw billions in state budgets and played a key role in creating the economic development tools that JobsOhio and Team NEO use today to attract new businesses, support existing companies, and drive job creation.
Under Matt’s leadership, Team NEO will build on the strong foundation laid by Bill Koehler, who has guided the organization through nearly a decade of transformative progress. With Matt’s collaborative leadership, deep relationships with business leaders and policymakers, and strategic vision, we are confident that Team NEO will continue to accelerate growth and create a more competitive and prosperous economy for the 14-county Northeast Ohio region.
Please join us in welcoming Matt Dolan as he steps into this vital leadership role!
