DULUTH, Ga. | A new senior vice president for economic development has joined the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce. He is Kevin Carmichael, who was raised in Gwinnett and who will spearhead the strategic vision and execution of Partnership Gwinnett, the community and economic development initiative aimed at driving sustainable economic prosperity in the community. He began his role with the organization on May 5.
Carmichael comes to Partnership Gwinnett from NCR Voyix, where he has been leading community, government and corporate university relations. Previously, he held several key positions at NCR Corporation, where he built and scaled the company’s university and community engagement and later managed a global communications team for its retail and restaurant divisions. Following NCR’s historical corporate split in 2023, he transitioned to a broader external affairs role at NCR Voyix.
Also previously, Carmichael’s work experience encompassed as the director of corporate relations at the University of Georgia, helping establish a new department to connect UGA with leading businesses and industry partners nationwide.
Carmichael also brings more than 12 years of impactful leadership experience from the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, where, as vice president of investor engagement, he managed board relations and statewide membership initiatives, significantly contributing to Georgia’s economic growth and advocacy efforts. At Partnership Gwinnett, he will lead a dedicated team of professionals in attracting, retaining, and growing businesses across targeted industry sectors.
Kevin earned his degree in public relations from the University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication. He is a graduate of Leadership Georgia, the Regional Leadership Institute and Leadership Gwinnett. He also serves currently as chair of the Executive Committee for GSLT.
A native Georgian and lifelong resident of Gwinnett, Kevin was raised in the local public schools, graduated from Parkview High and has called the community home for more than 34 years. He and his high school sweetheart are raising their three daughters in Dacula—continuing a legacy of deep roots and active involvement in the community.
