SCRA announces leadership transition
February 25, 2016
“Working to grow South Carolina’s Knowledge Economy has been a highlight of my career,” said Mahoney. “It has been an honor to have led and served the dedicated clients, partners and associates of SCRA who are so dramatically advancing South Carolina’s technology ecosystem.”
Board Chair William Blume wished Mahoney the very best for the future and thanked him for his contributions to building SCRA and enriching its contributions to South Carolina’s high-tech, innovation marketplace.
“I would like to thank Bill for his significant contributions to, and leadership of, SCRA and the state’s technology sector during the last 11 years,” said Blume. “SCRA is positioned to continue fulfilling its mission to advance science and technology-based economic development across the state, through the promotion of South Carolina university research and technologies and ongoing support for technology-based companies.”
The Board of Trustees’ Executive Committee is working closely with SCRA’s Management Team to effect the transition.
SCRA is a self-sustaining non-profit applied R&D company that grows the technology-based economy in South Carolina by commercializing intellectual property and supporting and making investments in early-stage companies. Multiple economic impact studies show our cumulative output into South Carolina’s economy to be over $19.5 billion since 1983, creating approximately 15,000 technology-related jobs with annual wages averaging between $55,000 and $79,000.
