Tech America announced Thursday that its former CEO will be leaving the group's foundation. TechAmerica Foundation President Chris Hansen will be leaving at the end of the month to become president of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network.
The foundation will be headed in the short term by Matthew Kazmierczak, who was named senior vice president and interim director. TechAmerica announced in January that Hansen was giving up his role as CEO to head the group's foundation. Hansen and TechAmerica President and now-CEO Phil Bond jointly led the group after the two associations they led, AeA and the Information Technology Association of America respectively, were merged into one group.
Kazmierczak most recently served as TechAmerica's senior vice president of operations where he was responsible for the group's day-to-day operations.
Meanwhile, TechAmerica announced other staff changes this week. Chris Wilson is joining the group as director and regulatory counsel for e-commerce and telecommunications. Prior to joining TechAmerica, Wilson was an associate in the communications law practice at the Wiley Rein law firm and once worked for Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa.
TechAmerica also announced that it has hired Randi Meyers to serve as its counsel and director of federal government relations. She most recently worked as legislative counsel for Rep. John Shadegg, R-Ariz., serving as his lead staffer on the House Energy and Commerce Communications, Technology and Internet Subcommittee.
"These hires signal our continued commitment to pursuing the broadest technology agenda on behalf of the industry's broadest association membership in Washington, the states and around the world," Bond said in a statement.
