BEN KOLENDAR
DIRECTOR
TO: Mayor Mendenhall
FROM: Roberta Reichgelt, Salt Lake City Economic Development
RE: Business Advisory Board Appointment Recommendation
Dear Mayor Mendenhall:
The Department of Economic Development would like to recommend Andy Robertson, Vice President of
Business Development at IONIQ Sciences/Prolung, Inc. for a nonvoting/ex-oficio member position on the
Business Advisory Board. The reason we are requesting ex-oficio position is because Mr. Robertson is not
the owner of the company as required in the BAB ordinance. As the Tech/Life Sciences Industry has
become a priority for the Mayor’s Office it is integral that there this industry representation on the BAB as
he would bring a unique perspective on this industry. Andy has been in the Life Sciences industry most of
his career and is poised to represent the other Life Sciences companies located in Northgate Business
Center, SLC’s hub for the Life Sciences community. This supports the efforts of the Economic Development
Department and Mayor’s 2021 goals to drive forward Tech Lake City and BioHive initiatives and pursue
additional partnership opportunities to further grow and expand the life sciences industry.
He is willing to give extra time on the Board to attend City Council meetings and understand what issues
coming through the Council may impact the business community and will lend his voice in relevant public
meetings.
We strongly support Andy’s application to the Business Advisory Board. Please find enclosed his
application and resume. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
Roberta Reichgelt
Director of Business Development
Liaison to the Business Advisory Board
Salt Lake City Department of Economic Development
