Kyle Touchstone recently joined the Knoxville Chamber as the Economic Development Project Manager.
In this capacity, he will work with the Director of Economic Development, Doug Lawyer, on recruiting businesses and industries to relocate, expand and remain in the East Tennessee area.
Touchstone was previously the Executive Director of the Pontotoc County Chamber of Commerce in Pontotoc, Mississippi. In that capacity, he was in charge of maintaining membership in the chamber as well as recruiting businesses and other economic development activities.
“I am extremely pleased to be here. I enjoy working for an organization with such great resources and support,” Touchstone said. “It’s nice to focus on one area and have other people handle other tasks and have a collaborative effort.”
He said that his desire to accept the Knoxville Chamber position was to be in a larger market with a progressive economic development marketing strategy.
Touchstone is a native of McComb, Mississippi and attended both the University of Mississippi and Mississippi State University. He received his Bachelor’s degree from the later in political science and communications.
