CORNWALL – Kelly Bergeron has been named executive director of the Cornwall Innovation Centre (CIC).

The CIC board of directors named Bergeron to the part-time post, which took effect on Monday (Nov. 6).

Bergeron is probably best known locally for spearheading the Code Heroes program – teaching digital literacy to young people in SD&G.

The CIC – a business accelerator program – vets green companies through the Carleton Lead to Win program.

The goal is to foster businesses that will generate $1 million in annual revenues by year three of their operation.
