ANDY DAVISON is the new City of Moreton Bay Chief Economic Development Officer.

An economic leader and former diplomat with more than 25 years of international experience, Mr Davison has spent the last five years serving as Moreton Bay’s head of Trade and Investment and his appointment came through a comprehensive recruitment campaign that received more than 150 high calibre applications, according to the council. 

Mr Davison said he was delighted to lead the council’s Economic Development team and guide the city’s economic direction.

“The City of Moreton Bay is entering an exciting period of economic opportunity and a critical time for industry advancement and investment attraction, and I’m excited to be leading our economic development efforts,” Mr Davison said.

City CEO Scott Waters said Mr Davison’s future vision for economic development in the Moreton Bay region, and extensive international trade and investment background, made him a stand out candidate for the role.

“Andy has been head of Trade and Investment with the city for the past five years,” Mr Waters said. “He also brings extensive international experience including senior roles in the Mayor of London’s office and as a Ministerial chief of staff in the United Kingdom, focused on trade and investment attraction.

“This combination of local leadership and global experience provides a strong platform to accelerate the city’s economic trajectory and reputation and further strengthen our already high performing economic development team,” he said.
