University City Science Center announced Monday that it had found a new president and CEO after a five-month search following Stephen Zarrilli’s departure from the role.
Tiffany Wilson, the recent CEO of the Global Center for Medical Innovation, an Atlanta-based nonprofit that supports the development and commercialization of medical products, will join the Science Center on Oct. 1. Wilson brings more than 18 years of leadership experience in the medical device field and has served on the National Advisory Council on Innovation and Entrepreneurship of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
