Businessman Gassan Azan has been named chairman of the investment agency Jamaica Trade and Invest (JTI), formerly Jampro, among a new board of directors named by Industry and Commerce Minister Karl Samuda.
Azan, the owner of popular retail chains MegaMart and Bashco, leads a board of 15.
He replaces former investment banker and now PNP Member of Parliament Peter Bunting.
Notable additions to the board include Rodney Davis, who, in August made a swift departure from Cable and Wireless Jamaica and Patrick Lynch whose appointment as Jamaica Tourist Board chairman sparked a quarrel between Government and the opposition on claims of potential conflict of interest.
