Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce CEO Resigns

Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Paul Wright has resigned.

The announcement Thursday followed Wright’s decision Wednesday to pursue a business endeavor with a colleague.

"I received an offer I couldn’t refuse with a consulting project with his former business partner," said Wright.

 Chamber Board Chair Rebecca Teutschel said Wright has left a lasting positive impact on their organization.

"In his short time as President/CEO Paul has been instrumental in helping the Chamber implement some new processes, develop a well thought-out and viable membership drive program, and improved the Chamber’s visibility through his facilitation of member outreach activities," said Teutschel. 

The Chamber Board has already began its search for Wright’s replacement.
