Karina Mandell

As a business attraction specialist at the Baltimore Development Corporation (BDC), I leverage my public administration education and my event planning and community outreach skills to grow the city's economy in an inclusive manner. I work with a diverse range of stakeholders, including local businesses, investors, developers, nonprofits, and residents, to promote Baltimore as a vibrant and attractive destination for innovation and investment.

I am passionate about connecting organizations and people to accomplish meaningful work and to strengthen each other. I am always looking for opportunities to challenge the status quo, to be creative, and to learn from different perspectives and cultures.
