Gov. Mike Parson’s administration announced the appointment Jan. 26. Carter, who is also a professor of practice at the McKelvey School of Engineering, has been a member of the board since 2017.

“This is an exciting time for innovation and entrepreneurship in Missouri and across the nation,” Carter said. “I am honored to be appointed by Gov. Parson to serve in this capacity, and I look forward to leading this effort to usher in a new era of leveraged investment to raise the number and profile of Missouri ventures.”
