Nexus Louisiana is in the process of finding a new permanent leader this year. After the board approved a request for proposal (RFP) to select a search firm, the organization plans to begin working with a search firm in early May to help recruit the next leader.
Currently, Nexus Louisiana supports 30 companies and aims to establish long-term, multi-year partnerships to improve sustainability. The business incubator is undergoing a change of focus to achieve this goal.
Former president and CEO Genevieve Silverman resigned from her position at Nexus Louisiana after 14 years in June 2022. Financial records for Research Park Corporation, the parent body of Nexus Louisiana, showed a budget shortfall of $280,771 that year, with revenues totaling $2,578,258 dollars in the amount of 2,859,029 dollars.
Entrepreneur and former board chairman Calvin Mills has served as interim CEO since Silverman’s departure. Although he didn’t initially consider becoming the organization’s top executive, Mills felt compelled to step up and lead when the opportunity arose. His focus has been on his software company, but he has taken on the role of interim CEO to support Nexus Louisiana in times of need.
