The Routt County Economic Development Partnership Yampa Valley Entrepreneurship Center has announced the appointment of Aaron Walls as its new managing director.

Walls succeeds Randy Rudasics, who retired after 17 years of service, and brings experience and a track record in the startup sector. He will continue the RCEDP Yampa Valley Entrepreneurship Center’s mission of fostering small business success across Routt County and the Yampa Valley.

Over the last 15 years, Walls founded three companies — including BEERMKR, an innovative  
countertop craft beer brewing system. His involvement in Colorado’s tech ecosystem over the past decade, coupled with his experience going through the Techstars accelerator program, positions him to lead the RCEDP Yampa Valley Entrepreneurship Center.
