Vanderbilt Assistant Vice Chancellor for Technology Transfer Alan Bentley this morning confirmed that the Center for Technology Transfer & Commercialization, which serves both the University and the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, is moving to recruit a successor to Stephen Miller, who is departing his role as executive director of new-venture development.
Bentley confirmed a fresh description of the key role is in-process.
Miller's LinkedIn profile today explains that his role has entailed "leading the CTTC new ventures team in their efforts to advance entrepreneurship and new ventures creation and support programs across the Vanderbilt campus, in the greater Nashville area, and across Tennessee. I work closely with the CTTC unit directors of Licensing and Industry Collaborations and their staff, as well as key university leaders, administrators, faculty, and staff, to build and enhance the entrepreneurship ecosystem on campus, and in the community."
