Ports of Indiana has appointed Brady Jacoba to the newly created role of chief commercial officer.
Jacoba has three decades of expertise in real estate, sales, marketing and economic development. Most recently, Jacoba served as vice president of sales and marketing at Volumod Indy, where he served as a member of the leadership team and implemented company-wide transformational growth strategies. Prior to that, he worked at Lauth Group for six years, serving as senior vice president of business development.
The establishment of the chief commercial officer role, meanwhile, comes as the port builds a new commercial department focused on business development and external affairs to support strategic growth.
“Brady’s extensive experience in business, real estate, and economic development is a tremendous asset for our organisation as we assemble a growth-oriented team,” said Jody Peacock, ceo at Ports of Indiana. “Our ports offer unique competitive advantages for companies, from multimodal real estate and foreign-trade zones to barge shipping and ocean containers. Brady will help us expand our programmes to grow business and increase our contributions to Indiana’s economy.”
