Business Pulse: Insights on Maryland’s new leadership

Secretary Mike Gill leads the Maryland Department 
of Business and Economic Development.

It was just about three weeks ago that Governor Larry Hogan announced that I was his pick for Secretary of the Department of Business and Economic Development (DBED). I cannot express how truly excited I am to lead the effort to get Maryland’s economic development efforts back on track.

Our mission is clear—to make Maryland a place where businesses can grow, where companies want to relocate and where we have an entrepreneurial culture second to none. It’s much more than just that, but it starts with “Maryland is Open for Business.”

I envision DBED to be an agency where “we make it happen.” My team will embody the qualities of many successful organizations—high energy, a sense of urgency, integrity in all that we do, positive attitudes, tremendous spirit and camaraderie. That’s us, that’s DBED.

It is my understanding that Martin OMalley has strapped us with a budget for the next year and that Mr. Hogan's budget is for the following year? When is the fiscal year rollover, and is there a way to bring his new budget forward to replace the OMalley budget to bring us even more savings?
