Johns Hopkins University names new technology commercialisation advisor ahead of push for entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneur and investor Christy Wyskiel (pictured) has been named senior advisor to the president of enterprise development at Johns Hopkins University.
Wyskiel will be replacing Aris Melissaratos as the university’s top advisor on commercialisation as the institution looks to push for further entrepreneurship. Johns Hopkins is looking to expand its role in generating spin-outs, with three business accelerators announced in the past four months.
Ronald Daniels, president at Johns Hopkins, said Wyskiel is “the perfect leader to help us amplify our innovation and entrepreneurship efforts and develop even more new and exciting partnerships with businesses and other stakeholders in the region.”
Melissarratos will move to a new position as executive-in-residents at the university’s business school.
