GO-Invest gets new CEO

Jan 31, 2016 News

Owen Verwey has been identified as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for the Guyana Office for Investment (GO-Invest).
Announcing the name yesterday, a statement from Government, said Verwey was recruited for the position from among 35 persons, following a public application process which began last August.
“The recruitment process was outsourced to a private firm and Mr. Verwey was among the top four candidates recommended by the firm to be interviewed by the Board of Directors of GO-Invest. A sub-committee of the Board conducted the interviews and made the final recommendation. He is expected to soon sign his employment contract.”
Verwey will be working along with the recently appointed Board of Directors, to provide critical leadership to the agency to realise its full potential. He will assist in the development of a 2020 Strategic Plan for Go-Invest and spearhead its execution under the supervision of the Board of Directors.
GO-Invest is expected to play a significant role in expanding Guyana’s economy in the coming years.
Verwey has served the Public Sector for nearly 20 years, both locally and internationally. He has held senior positions in several public sector organisations where he has been involved in project implementation, policy development, budget planning, project and programme management and financing.
He holds a Master’s Degree in Finance from the University of Exeter in the UK and a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics from the University of Guyana.
GO-Invest is the local agency set up to provide a comprehensive service to potential investors and to exporters. All applications for concessions and other means of promoting investment are channeled through GO-Invest.  The agency is divided into two sections- Investment Facilitation and Promotion, and Export Promotion.
