Rey Ramsey is stepping down as head of TechNet

.

Ramsey has been president and CEO of the tech industry trade group for more than three years. He is leaving the association to “pursue new opportunities.” “This was not an easy decision, but after roughly two decades of leading national organizations, I’ve decided to join an exciting private sector endeavor while at the same time continuing to serve on academic and nonprofit boards,” Ramsey said. Alix Burns, president of Bay Bridge Strategies and a former TechNet vice president, has been named the trade group’s acting CEO. Burns will help run the group and will work with TechNet’s executive council as they search for a new CEO.
