When Gov. Mike Braun took office, he placed most of the state's agencies under cabinet-style secretaries. One of them is Secretary of Commerce David Adams.

Adams oversees agencies including the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, the Department of Workforce Development and the Indiana Destination Development Corporation.

He's a business consultant who previously served as commissioner of the Department of Workforce Development. He also led state pension reform under Gov. Mitch Daniels.
