The Maryland Department of Commerce has created a new role focused on the state’s startup ecosystem and tapped a former investment banker and angel investor to head up the effort.
Allyson Redpath, who previously worked at Citigroup and Goldman Sachs, started as the department’s entrepreneurship director on Dec. 18, Secretary Kelly Schulz announced Thursday. In her new role, Redpath will work to attract and retain early-stage companies in Maryland. She will also help facilitate connections between these businesses and available resources, such as access to capital, company counseling and other small business workshops and events.
