ABOUT KELLY SMALLRIDGE
Kelly Smallridge is a highly respected leader in her field. In 2022, she was named the “Best Economic Developer in the State of Florida,” and the BDB team won the statewide awards “Deal of the Year” and “Excellence in Marketing.” She also was named to the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) board of directors. Kelly is the first female to hold the job of EDO president in South Florida, and she is the longest-tenured economic development president in the state. Driven, creative and collaborative, she has facilitated some of the largest job creation projects for Palm Beach County. Under her leadership, the BDB is one of only three Accredited Economic Development Boards in the State of Florida and one of 66 in the world.
PALM BEACH COUNTY continues to defy conventional thinking and dispel common misperceptions. We’re still a dream destination for vacationers and the travel sector that serves them. The county in 2022 welcomed a record 9.1 million visitors with a total estimated economic impact of $9.7 billion.
But when it comes to trends shaping the county’s future, there’s far more to the Palm Beaches than palms and beaches. We are officially “Wall Street South,” with a historic migration of newcomers to Palm Beach.
Traverse our entertainment areas, our business districts, our university campuses—and, yes, our 47 miles of beaches—and you’ll see residents who are trending younger than ever.
What’s luring them? In a word, collaboration. From the county seat to the 39 municipalities and the state of Florida, governmental leaders and business development professionals here at the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County and others are eager to be your partner. We’re pro-business. We work closely with executive teams hoping to relocate here, as well as those looking to expand their existing presence.
During the past five years, the BDB has assisted in the:
» Relocation or expansion of more than 140 companies countywide
» Creating of more than 13,100 direct jobs with average salaries greater than $80,000
» Capital investment of more than $1.12 billion throughout Palm Beach County
In the 2021-2022 year alone, the BDB helped drive:
» 33 corporate relocations and expansions
» 2,502 jobs
» Lease or purchase of 1,689,109 square feet of commercial and industrial space
» $362,588,797 in capital investment
Move here and you’ll be among the top names in business and industry. Along with the 100 banking and financial services firms that have earned us the moniker “Wall Street South,” the county is home to more than 460 corporate headquarters and regional offices. Top
employers and household names include Carrier, BlackRock, Citadel, Amazon, ADT, Pratt & Whitney, NewDay USA, and Sikorsky. Atop those are companies hoping to take advantage of our convenient access to the Americas and the world via six international airports and deepwater seaports.
Business here is at the leading edge of key sectors changing the world. The arrival 15 years ago of two of the world’s top research institutes—Scripps Research Institute and The Max Planck Society from Germany— spawned a life science and health care sector that today is home to about 700 firms and several top universities. In fact, the University of Florida invested in Scripps Florida, now called the Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation & Technology.
Additional leading industries include finance, technology, agribusiness, manufacturing, logistics and distribution driving the new economy. Along with Class A office space, the county boasts six million square feet of distribution centers and acreage in our western region primed for development.
Need talent? Palm Beach County has an abundant, young and educated workforce—and the partners to train them. Our average age is the youngest in our history.
Our success is shared success, and is only possible with the collaboration of a host of BDB members and partner organizations. We work closely with state, county and city leaders, including the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners, CareerSource, the Economic Council, the Lake Okeechobee Regional Economic Alliance, area chambers of commerce, and public and private educational institutions.
Thanks to your support, the view ahead is youthful— and bright.
Kelly Smallridge PRESIDENT AND CEO Harvey E. Oyer III CHAIRBDB Board Chairman Harvey Oyer has deep roots in Palm Beach County. He is a fifth-generation native. Harvey’s great-great grandparents first settled the region in 1872. His family helped plant 20,000 coconuts salvaged from the 1878 wreck of the Spanish ship Providencia. These coconut palm trees eventually led to Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, and Palm Beach County earning their respective names. Harvey is a lawyer, former underwater archaeologist, U.S. Marine Captain, and award-winning children’s book author. He is pictured here at one of his favorite places, Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens, where he serves as a Trustee.

“Buying the hotel was like going home for us, with the added bonus that home was 75 and sunny.
— Sarah Wetenhall
YOUNGER GROOVE ”
WHEN ASKED to describe the changing demogr aphics of Palm Beach, Sarah Wetenhall looks no further than her guest register at The Colony Hotel. As the iconic property’s owner, president and CEO, Wetenhall has seen the faces of her patrons growing younger.
She c ould just look in the mirror. Wetenhall and her husband, Andrew, have three grade school-aged children and in some ways epitomize the New York Time s’ recent headline, “Palm Beach Gets a Younger Groove.”
As longtime patrons of the hotel, which was owned by Andrew’s father, the couple took a leap and bought The Colony in 2016. It was a “complete career pivot” for Sarah. The midwesterner had been in fashion public relations at Dolce & Gabbana, Calvin Klein, and Hugo Boss in New York City.
FAST FACTS
Year built: The Colony Hotel was built in 1947 and originally painted brown
Holidays and vacations since their dating days at Vanderbilt University were always spent in Palm Beach. So taking the helm “was like going home for us,” she recalls.
Beyond the 20-somethings the Times profiled, Wetenhall has seen couples and families of all ages moving to and vacationing in Palm Beach. They come seeking arts and culture, fine dining and the tropical lifestyle—and even top schools and business networking opportunities—that together have become the envy of friends back home.
Wetenhall’s hand-picked staff offers a high-touch, luxury hospitality experience, which includes Sunday brunch, live music, fashion and trunk shows, and visual arts in the solarium. These were amenities the couple longed for when they were guests sitting poolside a decade ago. Working with a consultant, they put into place “years of pent-up desires” sitting perfectly with today’s guests.
“Every generation is drawn to what’s happening down here,” she says. “We’re driving a greater experience on our little corner of Hammon Avenue and South County Road.”

THE PLACE FOR FINANCIERS, INNOVATORS AND PIONEERS
TMRW Sports Stephen Master of GTCR Benjamin Carson, Jr. of FVLCRUM
PROFILE 2023-2024
FAST FACTS
Founded: 2022
Founders: Tiger Woods, Rory Mcllroy and Mike McCarley
Iconic Investors Include: Shaquille O’Neal, Dwyane Wade, Kevin Durant, Mike Trout, Sidney Crosby, Lewis Hamilton, Serena Williams, Alex Morgan, Justin Timberlake, and dozens of others across finance, sports business, technology, and media
Plans: 135,000-square-foot tech-infused virtual golf venue at Palm Beach State College Future Location: Palm Beach Gardens
FULL SWING IN PALM BEACH COUNTY
“TMRW Sports’ facility in Palm Beach will transform into a unique intersection of sports, technology, and ultimately culture.
— Mike McCarley, founder and CEO, TMRW Sports
TECH-INFUSED ”
TMRW SPORTS had any number of reasons to create its tech-infused, virtual golf venue in Palm Beach County. Considered “Florida’s Golf Capital,” the county is home to 160 courses and some of the world’s best golfers. Then there was the opportunity to partner with higher education.
Co-founders Tiger Woods, Rory Mcllroy and Mike McCarley, along with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Palm Beach State College President Ava Parker and PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan, gathered for the recent ground-breaking of TGL, the facility and golf league created by TMRW Sports. The facility will be based on 10 acres at Palm Beach State College’s Palm Beach Gardens campus.
TGL’s concept was designed in part to benefit students and enhance the college’s business, marketing, sports management, and technology curricula. TGL will create hundreds of jobs and has signed some of the top golfers in the world to compete in a PGA TOUR-backed primetime golf league.
“Once we learned the story of Palm Beach State College, it just absolutely made sense for us to form a public-private partnership with the school,” says McCarley, CEO of TMRW Sports and a former Golf Channel executive. “This partnership will introduce PBSC students to curricula, and ultimately careers, that they may never have considered.”
The roughly 135,000-square-foot facility will become the most technologically advanced content studio and sports venue in the Southeast U.S., says Tom Veit, TMRW Sports Senior Vice President of Venue and Events. Students will benefit from academic teaching and program development, scholarships, and guest lectures and keynotes by sports figures and celebrities from a variety of media.
Innovation is core to this new version of live professional golf, adds Andrew Macaulay, TMRW Sports’ Chief Technology Officer. The initiative will integrate technologies from across multiple disciplines with a heavy emphasis on computer vision and augmented reality.
“It was simply amazing to find a location for our sports venue that was not only in the perfect geographic area for our needs,” he says, “but also on the campus of a college that educates the next generation of technology professionals.”
“TGL may just be getting started, but we share this common mission to both inspire and empower people to dream big and reach their full potential,” McCarley says. “That starts in the Palm Beach community and on the campus of Palm Beach State College.”
WALL STREET SOUTH PERSONIFIED
“
We have a yard, a commute to work of less than 10 minutes and a threeminute walk to the beach. What more could you want?
”
— Stephen Master
WHEN the Business Development Board o f Palm Beach County coined the phrase “Wall Street South” to describe the area’s growing appeal to financial services leaders, they could well have been speaking directly to Stephen Master, a Managing Director at GTCR.
But Florida wasn’t in his cards from the start. After earning his bachelor’s degree from Northwestern and an MBA from The University of Chicago, the Atlanta native planned to eventually return home. Instead, he spent 15 years in Chicago before relocating to West Palm Beach to lead the growing firm’s expansion—in a warm, welcoming and businessfriendly environment.
CRITICAL MASS
When Stephen arrived in 2021, he was “blown away” with the frequency of high-level interactions with people important to his network. “There’s a critical mass of investment firms and executives here,” Master says, “and people who don’t live here are actively looking for reasons to come visit. The end result is I’m doing more business in-person than I ever have before.”
As a place to raise his family and educate their young children, Master calls it “idyllic.” His kids are surrounded by peers, and his personal and professional networks are full of fellow transplants, including people from the University of Chicago and Northwestern alumni groups the couple belong to.
“There’s a lot of exciting connections and conversations with people who are very happy they relocated to this area,” he says. “If you’re in business or a young couple and don’t live or have a presence here, you’re missing out on something special.”

PhotoINVESTING IN TOMORROW
“ This is the only place where you can comfortably wear sandals to a business meeting in the morning, enjoy a business lunch by the beach, and tackle a board meeting in the afternoon.
— Benjamin Carson, Jr.
OPPORTUNITY ”
BENJAMIN CARSON, JR.’S investment f irm FVLCRUM Funds was created in 2013 to address the disparity facing modern America. There is tremendous wealth, yet the gap between the rich and the poor is wide and growing. Social services are stretched, and needs are great.
The Carson family arrived here in 2014. FVLCRUM, a public welfare private equity fund, began targeting investments in Florida in 2021 when Carson observed the pandemic-driven migration of people and industry to the region. Since then, FVLCRUM has made several investments in Florida, focusing on fundamentally strong, lower-middle-market, minorityowned services companies to create sustainable opportunity in underserved communities—all while delivering toplevel investor returns.
FAST FACTS
Number of jobs in current portfolio: Approximately 5,000
Largest single investment to date: Acquisition of a Southeast U.S. commercial and residential security company (transaction size: approx. $100 million)
While Carson’s returns have been impressive, FVLCRUM has created more than 6,000 living-wage jobs and has improved education and infrastructure in low- to moderate-income communities. His family’s education-focused foundation, Carson Scholars Fund, provides more than 500 merit-based scholarships and has constructed more than 270 reading rooms in Title 1 schools, including several in Palm Beach County.
Maryland/Washington, DC, residents, Carson, his wife, their three children, and their German shepherd, Odin, spend substantial time in Palm Beach Gardens. His parents moved to Palm Beach about a decade ago, and they all can frequently be found around town enjoying the lifestyle the region offers.
From the start, Carson quickly fell for the laid-back lifestyle—and the opportunity to improve the community.
“This is the only place where you can comfortably wear sandals to a business meeting in the morning, enjoy a business lunch by the beach, tackle a board meeting in the afternoon,” he says, “and never need to change your outfit.”
Number of investments: 12 platform investments; more than 40, including add-on investments
Additional fun factoid: The fastest growing and largest company in its portfolio, Parking Management Company (PMC), has several locations in Palm Beach County.

THAT SPECIAL SOMETHING TO GROW AND FLOURISH

PhotoPUTTING FOR DOUGH—AND FUN
“Palm Beach is an amazing place to raise kids. Having your kids grow up outside is something you just can’t do up north. — Greg Bartoli
”
ENTREPRENEUR
AS THE GOLFING ADAGE goes, “drive f or show, putt for dough.” For serial entrepreneur Greg Bartoli, putting is proving to be both profitable—and fun.
After 15 years on Wall Street, the former JP Morgan executive retired, left his home in Tribeca and moved to his long-time second home in Palm Beach Gardens to start a new life for his growing family. It was familiar territory; for his wife, Patty, grew up in Delray Beach, and the couple was married at The Breakers.
After moving here in 2013, Bartoli opened J.E.M. Capital, his private equity firm focused on real estate, hospitality and technology. He soon after created his first golf entertainment concept, Lighthouse Cove in Jupiter, which became an instant hit in the community and led to several
FAST FACTS
Number of employees: 1,000
Number of locations: Seven open, 12 more venues under development
Number of ventures he owns or invests in: more than 25
other Lighthouse Cove locations in Florida. He then ventured further into hospitality, buying Jupiter’s venerable Dune Dog Café, and has since expanded the Dune Dog brand. Family entertainment, enjoyed across generations, has been core to all of his ventures in hospitality.
PopStroke seeks to capitalize on that. Founded in 2019, PopStroke combines two 18-hole putting courses designed by partner Tiger Woods, in a family-friendly atmosphere with a scratch kitchen, craft beer and an ice cream parlor that’s perfect for kids’ parties, date nights, seniors and corporate events for skilled and first-time golfers alike.
Locations are open or planned for Delray Beach, Wellington and West Palm Beach— and across the nation. Partners include TaylorMade® and Tiger Woods, and the chairman of NBC Sports sits on his board. The network recently aired the inaugural PopStroke Tour Championship from PopStroke Sarasota, which included Tour Pros Ricky Fowler and Paula Creamer. A second PopStroke Tour Championship with a significant purse on TV is planned for later this year at PopStroke Scottsdale.
Bartoli, who admits he doesn’t play much golf these days but appreciates the networking, finds in South Florida the financiers and a network of strangers, friends and colleagues alike who also relocated from the Northeast.
“I always wanted to be an entrepreneur,” says Bartoli. “But I needed Wall Street in the first chapter of my professional life to fund my second chapter.”
Additional Fun Factoids: “The name PopStroke came from a slang term used in golf circles to describe a putting stroke with a short backswing and quick follow-through, which happens to be my putting stroke in golf. The name also pays homage to my father, who introduced me to the game of golf and is referred to as “Pop Pop” by his grandchildren.”
ESSENTIAL ENERGY OF THE SUNSHINE STATE
“
There is something for everyone of all ages to enjoy [in Boca Raton]. It’s exciting to see the expansion of our city.
”
— John Fieldly
WHEN Delray Beach resident Steve Haley founded the CELSIUS fitness drink in 2004, it was a reflection of all Palm Beach County offered. The region’s weather and environment synergized well with the brand’s lifestyle appeal.
Fast-forward almost 20 years, and the county—along with a young, eager workforce—continues to fuel CELSIUS’s remarkable growth and its success in attracting talent of all backgrounds.
“We’ve made the decision to keep our headquarters in Palm Beach Country, as staying close to our roots is an important value of the CELSIUS brand,” says CEO John Fieldly. The 42-year-old exec was named Beverage Industry magazine’s 2022 Executive of the Year, in part for steering the company to record revenues of $653.6 million in 2022—up 108 percent from the year before.
CELSIUS leans hard into Boca Raton’s and the county’s “we live where you vacation” ethos. Still a global tourism

destination, the region offers unparalleled appeal for a young workforce in pursuit of that active, outdoor lifestyle, aligning with the brand’s LIVE FIT mantra. Career seekers of all ages—from veteran talent to those still in college—find a company growing its place in the national packaged goods space.
In fact, look at CELSIUS to see a reflection of the region it calls home. It’s creative, collaborative and diverse, which promotes a fun work environment and impactful business growth, Fieldly says.
“There is something for everyone of all ages to enjoy. It’s exciting to see the expansion of our city.” And the CELSIUS brand.

DEEP ROOTS IN PALM BEACH COUNTY
“
We’re a beautiful little farm with the growth coming around us.
— Marie Bedner
”
SUSTAINABLE
MARIE AND STEVE BEDNER are South Florida nativ es with deep roots in the local farming community.
Steve’s a fourth-generation farmer whose family moved here in the 1950s and bought their first Palm Beach County farm—with 1,500 acres—at Atlantic Ave and the Turnpike. Together with his brothers and late father, they have raised seasonal and winter crops—such as bell peppers, cucumbers, strawberries, and even sunflowers, amid some 50 different crops—and grown their business ever since.
About 15 years ago, when teachers began asking about field trips to show students where their fruits and vegetables came from, the Bedners opened their gates and gave tours guided by a retired USDA agent with custom lesson plans in hand. Students learned about Bedner’s sustainable practices and the importance of produce in a healthy diet.
“An educated consumer really understands the freshness of our produce,” she says.
Today, U-pick is big business, as are their three Bedner’s Farm Fresh Markets and their annual Fall Festival. The Bedners employ hundreds of workers, from high schoolers and retirees to seasonal workers who travel the country following the harvest.
With development moving in, the Bedners continue to grow. They recently bought their fifth farm, adding 800 acres for their bell peppers. And they built an air-conditioned 400-bed dormitory for their H2A visa workers in Belle Glade.
As they watch computer systems track everything from harvest yields to error codes in their tractors, one of the last family farmers in the county can feel nostalgic about the region’s agricultural roots. But they know they’re playing a role in keeping this vital sector—and the region’s shoppers and economy—healthy. They even donate leftover produce to local food banks.
“We run a sustainable and socially conscious farm,” she says. “We couldn’t think of doing what we do anyplace else.”

“
THE PERFECT PORT FOR QUALITY OF LIFE
People in my business circle say they want to live and work in Florida and Palm Beach County. — Jeff Fiser
SHIP AT SEA ”
EARLY in his career in the shipping industr y, Jeff Fiser was like a ship at sea. He relocated frequently, uprooting his family to move on to the next assignment. When he arrived at Tropical Shipping in Palm Beach County 25 years ago, Fiser found his home port.
For Tropical and Fiser, the Port of Palm Beach is a logical call. From there, the shipping company sends vessels to the Bahamas, the Caribbean and Canada 17 times each week loaded with cargo vital to island destinations. These include groceries, general merchandise, hardware, and even replenishment goods for cruise ships that serve the region.
Other shipping firms, like the one Fiser worked with before joining Tropical, call on global ports. Tropical has its niche. “Our home is in the Bahamas and Caribbean. We are committed to island life. We’ve not tried to conquer the world,” he says.
Yet, it is growing. The company recently completed a $150 million ship-building program that added six vessels to its 17-ship fleet. Founded 60 years ago at the Port of Palm Beach by containerized shipping pioneer John H. Birdsall, Tropical was acquired several times, yet remains true to its mission as a “family-run transportation company,” Fiser says. Today the company is owned by Saltchuk Resources, a family-owned company.
Fiser, a “military brat” who moved frequently as a child, wanted more permanent moorings for his family. He took a job with Tropical, and together with his wife, Lois Ann, and three young children, moved to Palm Beach County. The kids grew up in the county school system and attended Florida universities. Fiser himself attended University of South Florida on a basketball scholarship.
Fiser discovered that as an employer, the region is rich with multicultural talent ideal for the shipping sector. As a parent and executive whose out-of-market peers often are jealous of his lifestyle, the county has all he could ask for. “Palm Beach County is a great place to live, work and raise a family.”
THE FACE OF A CHANGING PALM BEACH COUNTY
“
We can be outside the whole year.
— Georg Cortolezis-Supp
”
IN MANY WAYS , Georg Cortolezis-Supp represents the changing face of Palm Beach County. The executive relocated to the county with his wife in 2018 from their native Austria. His mission: to lead the Boynton Beach maker of scientific instruments firm his employer, Anton Paar, had recently acquired.
It wasn’t a hard sell to get the couple to move. They knew about Florida and pondered their options. He and Julia decided to give it a few years—and then reassess.
Five years later, “our plans to go somewhere else are fading,” he says with a laugh.
Why does Cortolezis-Supp stay? He made strong professional and personal connections early on, with help from the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County, that helped build bonds to the local community. He nurtured a strong market for Anton Paar QuantaTec’s Instruments line, which is researched, developed and manufactured here. He also found a robust, skilled and diverse workforce—now numbering 115—and access to student interns and professional expertise at area universities.
MULTICULTURAL
Centrally located in a hub of the Americas, Cortolezis-Supp may one day lead new efforts to explore potential business from Latin America. At the very least, the multicultural and diverse workforce makes for a unique advantage for a growing business that is actively looking for a new location in the county.
Now with two children and another on the way, the Boca Raton residents find the academics are solid—and the quality of life is far different from the seasonal swings of their European homeland. “We can be outside the whole year,” he enthuses, which includes the annual Oktoberfest with the German community in Lake Worth Beach.
“We didn’t come here to speak German. We like to mingle with the locals,” he says. It seems in Palm Beach County, he gets the best of both worlds.

”
TO SAY MARC BELL’S COMPANY—and life are flying sky high isn’t quite lofty enough. Terran Orbital has plans and customer contracts to put hundreds of military, civil and commercial satellites into orbit in the coming years all overseen from his offices in Palm Beach County.
Why did Bell choose Boca Raton when he moved here from California two years ago? “Simple,” says Bell, Terran Orbital's cofounder, chairman and CEO. Aside from having a strong talent base and universities nearby minting new engineering grads and MBAs every year, “I needed a house, an office and an airport,” he says. “All those things are within seven minutes of my house.”

When he ventures beyond the perimet er he calls his “life, work and travel” triangle, lifestyle and business opportunities soar. Nearby are countless restaurants, shopping, culture and three international airports to fly him to Florida’s bustling Space Coast or his operations in California, from where the company is developing a $2.4 billion, 300-satellite broadband constellation.
Among Bell's other ventures are PredaSAR, which will operate for the government the world’s largest array of radar spacecraft, and investment firm Marc Bell Capital Partners, which invests in and helps guide companies that are “changing the world.”
The New York native who produced two Tony Award-winning Broadway shows “Jersey Boys” and “August: Osage County” feels at home in the “sixth borough.” One-third of his sixth-grade homeroom lives within driving distance, he jokes, and he appreciates not having the sky blocked by skyscrapers. Those lifestyle incentives plus no state income tax are strong recruitment tools to lure talent. Though his three children are grown, Bell nonetheless knows the highly rated schools nearby are important to potential hires.

NOW TOP 6 PERCENT IN THE HEART
OF WALL STREET SOUTH
Palm Beach Atlantic University (PBA) recently earned accreditation from AACSB International, putting them in the top 6 percent of business schools across the globe. Widely regarded as the gold standard of business education, this accomplishment places PBA amongst the top-tier of Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) business schools.
THIS MILESTONE CAME just a few months after PBA announced the launch of its new $75 million God-Sized Dreams Campaign for the Marshall and Vera Lea Rinker Business Building, which will be located in the heart of “Wall Street South,” also known as West Palm Beach. The new, flagship building will allow the school to produce more top-end talent with the addition of a stock trading room, a 400-seat tiered lecture hall, expanded space for the Titus
Center for Franchising and LeMieux Center for Public Policy, room to develop more Centers of Excellence, and more. This recognition will further the Marshall E. Rinker Sr. School of Business’ outstanding reputation in the community, as well as create even more demand for graduates who already enjoy a wealth of meaningful job opportunities in South Florida.
“We are thrilled to receive the same prestigious accreditation that top business schools in the world have earned—while also experiencing unprecedented growth in our student body, and specifically in our business school,” said Dr. Debra A. Schwinn, MD. “Our new Marshall and Vera Lea Rinker Business Hall will take us to even further heights.”

PALM BEACH COUNTY is home to 118 private and faith-based schools, with expansion plans and new academic centers in the pipeline. As more people than ever relocate to Florida, seekers of a private school education in Palm Beach County have myriad options and a future full of growth.
