Jeff Sutich, Executive Director, Northern Nevada Development Authority, discusses the continuing trend of companies wanting to come to Northern Nevada.
He explains that when difficult laws for businesses were passed in California, the Silver State made a good effort to court businesses like Tesla to the area.

These experiences have given Jeff the opportunity to support economic growth in Nevada by helping companies relocate to Nevada and support international exports to over 60 countries. Jeff also has the expertise to guide aspiring entrepreneurs with their start-up initiatives from his experience in launching his own companies.
“The Executive Board of the NNDA is excited to name Jeff Sutich as our Executive Director.
