NAAAP Boston is delighted to announce the appointment of Jesse Nandhavan as President & CEO, effective immediately. Outgoing President & CEO Eric Lam will be working on transition with new president.
The Board of Directors is gratified to have Jesse Nandhavan step up to this critical role.
Nandhavan joined NAAAP Boston about two years ago as CoDirector of the Corporate Relations Committee, and quickly developed solid relationships with existing and new Sponsors. He became an integral part of NAAAP Boston Chapter leadership team, contributing to organizationwide operations meetings as well as NAAAP National major events. Most recently, Nandhavan was a key driver of NAAAP Boston’s 3rd Annual Leadership Forum, a showcase conference which engages Asian professionals on career and leadership topics and highlights NAAAP Boston’s Corporate Sponsors. In his new role Nandhavan has “landed running” having pulled together a new team of Officers, who will be introduced separately.
Please join us in welcoming Jesse Nandhavan as President and CEO and supporting him in pursuit of NAAAP Boston’s vision, mission and values.
Cordially,
Jim Fong
Chairman, NAAAP Boston Board of Directors
For the past two years Eric Lam has led NAAAP Boston as President & CEO. Lam stepped down from that role as of November 8, 2014 to further focus on his professional career. The NAAAP Boston Board of Directors is very grateful for Lam’s contributions and would like to acknowledge his outstanding leadership. Highlights of Lam’s major accomplishments include:
- Lam initiated NAAAP Boston’s Annual Leadership Forum, a showcase conference which engages Asian professionals on career and leadership topics and highlights NAAAP Boston’s Corporate Sponsors.
- During Lam’s term, NAAAP Boston has enjoyed solid growth in terms of membership, sponsorship, and programming innovation. He elevated NAAAP Boston’s brand and visibility throughout Greater Boston’s professional and diversity communities.
- Lam strengthened our allvolunteer organization to enable more volunteers to become avidly involved and grow as leaders. He also introduced new tools and processes for operational efficiency.
- Most impressively, Lam led succession planning that has resulted in a clean transition to a new team of NAAAP Boston Officers. He remains available in the short run for transition, and in the long run as an avid NAAAP advocate.
On behalf of the NAAAP Boston community, please join us in congratulating Eric Lam on his extraordinary service as President and CEO and wishing him all the best in his professional pursuits.
Cordially,
Jim Fong
Chairman, NAAAP Boston Board of Directors
