In that position, Julie analyzed industry and market trends to derive actionable insights and reports. She specialized in sustainability-focused research, particularly within the climate tech sector, while also collaborating across departments to support lead generation and business development efforts.
In late 2024, Julie transitioned to the Business Development team and now serves as Business Development Manager. In this role, she works to attract and support companies considering a move to Greater Phoenix, leveraging her research expertise and passion for sustainability to drive impactful economic development initiatives.
