The Conway Area Chamber of Commerce announced it has hired Jack Pillow as its director of economic development.
Pillow started in the role May 1. His responsibilities include existing business retention and expansion, as well as supporting recruitment and talent development initiatives, the chamber said in a news release.
Pillow, a Conway native, was most recently a project manager for the Arkansas Economic Development Commission. According to the release, he was instrumental in helping create 800 jobs across the state, leading to more than $500 million in capital investment.
“We are excited to have Jack join our economic development team after working with him at the state level,” Corey Parks, the chamber’s chief economic development officer, said in the release. “His experience and skillset allow us to be more proactive with our business attraction, retention, and expansion efforts.”
Pillow has a bachelor’s in finance from Ouachita Baptist University.
