Joshua Gunn named president and CEO of Greater Memphis Chamber

Gunn previously worked in economic development and helped recruit AbbVie’s planned $1.4 billion advanced biomanufacturing facility to Durham. The project is expected to create 734 permanent life sciences jobs and generate an estimated $8 billion in economic impact. His appointment brings an HBCU-trained economic development executive into a prominent regional business leadership role and could shape Memphis’s recruitment, investment, and entrepreneurship strategies.
