Stephen Fleming, the general manager of Georgia Tech’s lauded startup incubator, is leaving that post and another he holds as a top liaison between the research university and the business community.
Fleming, general manager of the Advanced Technology Development Center and vice president of the Enterprise Innovation Institute (EI2), will leave the institution by the end of the year, according to a news release.
“EI2 has experienced remarkable success across all of its programs in recent years under Stephen’s leadership,” Steve Cross, Tech’s executive vice president for research, said in a statement.
Fleming, a Georgia Tech alumnus, venture capitalist and veteran of AT&T’s Bell Laboratories, has served as one of Georgia Tech’s top mentors to startups and as the executive connecting Tech to companies to help them become more competitive and to advance their technology.
