CenterState CEO Chief of Staff Ben Sio was recently profiled by Marie Morelli of Syracuse.com for their weekly Conversation on Leadership. The series features Q&A interviews about leadership, success and innovation.

"Benjamin Sio’s title at CenterState CEO is senior VP of policy and planning and chief of staff. But ask him what his job is, and he’ll point to the line at the bottom of most job descriptions: 'Additional duties as assigned.' For Sio, 38, of Westvale, that has meant becoming fluent in downtown revitalization, high-speed rail, regional partnerships, young leaders, workforce development, semiconductors, housing, equity and inclusion, and many more topics over his 17 years at the organization. He is responsible for strategizing for the future of economic development organization and overseeing policy development and government affairs."
