Ioanna Morfessis (pronounced:) is an American businesswoman and economic development professional. Morfessis later established Montgomery County’s first Office of Economic Development, opening the office with a budget of $100,000, and growing it to $1.7 million by the time she was recruited to Phoenix just five years later. In 1985 Morfessis was recruited to Phoenix to initiate the city’s first private public partnership, Phoenix Economic Growth Corporation (PEGC). Five years later, Phoenix and the surrounding metro communities invited Morfessis to found a regional public-private economic development partnership, Greater Phoenix Economic Council (GPEC), which became a model for successful collaborative economic development partnerships worldwide. In 1997, Morfessis was recruited to implement the GPEC model for the Greater Baltimore Alliance (GBA) as president and CEO, where she forged a cohesive regional economic development initiative for the greater metropolitan area. In these posts, she led efforts to recruit and expand more than 300 firms that combined, invested over $27 billion in private capital and generated more than 250,000 direct new jobs. In 2004, Dr. Morfessis returned to Arizona, where she currently serves as founder and President at IO.INC, assisting organizations and communities to develop and execute sustainable growth strategies. Morfessis also served as president of Council for Urban Economic Development (CUED) from 1992 to 1994, increasing the organization’s focus on national policy, providing input on urban federal economic development initiatives like Community Development Block Grant program (CDBG) and others. In 2011, Morfessis was awarded the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) Ed DeLuca Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in Economic Development for “an esteemed career of empowering communities and companies to prosper” and for founding three best-of-class economic development organizations in the U.S.”
