Meet the New PSL Leadership Team

We’re proud to announce the newest members of the Philly Startup Leaders leadership team.

These leaders will join the current team for a transition period of 3-6 months. Then some of the Philly Startup Leaders founders will “retire” to the Board of Directors while the new leaders take over their roles and help the outgoing folks change their adult diapers (growing “startup old” isn’t all it’s cracked up to be).

The new leaders were selected from people who stepped forward in the PSL Next leadership search. They were interviewed by some combination of the founders and board members. Then they met with their future team members and decided that they wanted to help lead PSL into the future. Everyone who applied to PSL Next will continue to be involved in PSL whether in an ongoing role or on a project-to-project basis.

This is the first of what should be many successful leadership changes over the years. As with any mature organization, the founders can’t lead forever. We see it as our job to pass on our vision and values and to let people much smarter than us take the organization to the next level.

So here is the new leadership team:

President: Jameson Detweiler
Events Director: Gloria Bell
Tech Director: Cody Ray
Hacker-in-Residence: Josiah Kiehl
Membership Director: Jameson Detweiler
Finance and Operations Director: Matt Owens
Marketing Director: OPEN (Aaron McLean will continue to fill in the meantime)

And the current Board of Directors:
Chris Cera, Chairman
Doug Bellenger
Jameson Detweiler
Colin Evans
Blake Jennelle
Neil Kleinman
Aaron McLean
Tracey Welson-Rossman

Please congratulate and welcome our awesome new leadership team. Here’s to the next chapter in the remarkable history of the Philadelphia startup community!
