Governor Maura healey convened a cadre of business leaders at the State House in December,and charged them with brainstorming ideas to improve the state’s economic environment – as quickly as possible. Taxes, regulation, workforce development, business incentives. Everything’s on the table.

She saeid the council, led by former Bain Capital executive Mark Nunnelly and Harpoon cofounder Dan Kenary, is already giving her details about things her governance can do. Healey promised to stay focused on the issue of competitiveness this year.

Perhaps no one on her team understands that pressure better then Paley does.

He views his job the way a VC investor would: figuring out how to marshal the state’s limited funds for the most effective economic efforts, the ones with the best upside.

As any venture capitalist would tell you, that often means seeing prospect in unlikely places. For Paley, that means looking at the silver lining with these outmigration numbers, and how much more massachusetts will benefit if they get turned around.
