Nicholas S. Brill, executive search consultant of Boston-based Brill-Neuman, discusses plans with the Pennington Biomedical Research Center executive director search committee.
A new Pennington Biomedical Research Center executive director should be hired by year’s end with public advertising beginning in June, a search consultant said Thursday.
LSU’s Pennington search committee met with Boston-based consultant Nick Brill for the first time Thursday to discuss the plans and timelines to replace outgoing Pennington Executive Director Claude Bouchard.
