The Technology Association of Georgia on Friday announced a former Metro Atlanta Chamber executive as its next president and CEO.
Larry Williams, the current chief executive of an economic development organization in Miami, will replace Tino Mantella, who previously announced plans to leave TAG at the end of this year. Mantella served as the head of TAG, a trade organization with more than 30,000 members, for more than a decade.
“Larry’s track record as an executive able to craft, lead and oversee successful strategic plans and public-private partnerships impressed the selection committee and Board members,” Stacie Hagan, vice president of human resources at SecureWorks and TAG 2016 board chair, said in a news release.
Williams is a former vice president of technology development at the Metro Atlanta Chamber and was a key player in the chamber’s Mobility Task Force, a working group that helped promote the metro area as a global mobile communications and technology capital.
“I am looking forward to again working with Georgia’s forward-facing technology and business leaders to continue to build on TAG’s success and execute on the quantum growth strategy the TAG board rolled out earlier this year,” Williams said in the release.
Williams is expected to start in November.
