The St. Pete EDC was proud to present an event for our Investors, “Fortune 500 Focus: Tiny TED Talks with Jabil,” hosted at Jabil’s corporate headquarters in the St. Pete Gateway/Carillon district. We had the opportunity to hear what St. Pete EDC Investor Jabil, one of St. Pete’s largest employers, is doing at their local sites and beyond:
- St. Pete EDC Investor representative Thomas Cetta, SVP and chief compliance officer, discussed Jabil’s commitment to compliance and sustainability.
- April Butterfield, SVP of engineering, highlighted their innovative work in medical device manufacturing, specifically catheters, to advance healthcare solutions.
- Frank Mckay, chief supply chain and procurement officer, explored Jabil’s supply chain excellence.
Thank you to our presenting sponsor, Uniti Fiber, who made this event possible!

We enjoyed hearing how Jabil is driving impact through workforce development, innovation, and sustainable growth. We are so appreciative of Legal Operations Manager Robyn Montanez, who put together a great program of tiny TED Talks and was such a terrific liaison with the Jabil team. Many thanks to Jabil for being one of St. Pete’s leading corporate citizens and for hosting this Investor event!
