As President and Chief Executive Officer of the Greater Memphis Chamber, John Moore is focused on growing the local economy, providing first-class business services for Chamber members and business professionals, and communicating the positive assets of doing business in Memphis and Shelby County, Tennessee.

His efforts to advance the Memphis business community led to one of the most ambitious, public/private economic development plans in the country, MemphisED.  The plan positions Memphis to attract major corporations, grow specialized industry sectors, increase minority businesses and ensure a knowledge-based workforce.  Moore and the Memphis Chamber serve as the lead agency for the MemphisED Plan.

Before joining the Chamber in September of 2005, Moore worked for Northwest Airlines as its Vice President for State and Local Affairs for 14 years.
