TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – On Monday, March 28, Governor Rick Scott announced that President and CEO of Enterprise Florida, Bill Johnson, will be transitioning out of the organization that he has led since the beginning of the Governor’s second term. The details of his departure are being finalized to allow Mr. Johnson to fulfill existing EFI commitments.
Governor Rick Scott said, “Bill has traveled the globe to let businesses know that Florida is the top destination in the world for jobs. He played a key role in our mission to make Florida first for families and he has vigorously fought to bring new opportunities to the Sunshine State so we can grow our economy for future generations.
