BRUNSWICK — The Maine Technology Institute recently announced two changes to its leadership team.

Suzanne Hamlin has been appointed interim director of MTI’s Business Ventures Group, the team that assists technology ventures with a variety of grants and loans. Hamlin currently heads the Transformative Knowledge Group, a Portland firm that provides a wide variety of business analysis and planning.

She has been working with MTI since 2004 as a member of the SBIR/STTR Technical Assistance Program group.

Her direct industry experience includes retail, direct marketing, medical products, manufacturing, banking and insurance, as well as a broad range of nonprofits, and she has consulted in all seven of Maine’s target technology sectors. Hamlin holds a BSE in computer science from Princeton University and an MBA from Harvard Business School.

Joseph Migliaccio has been appointed director of Business Development and will lead MTI’s targeted effort to expand funding opportunities for technology development with early, and later-stage, ventures. He has been with MTI since its founding in 1999 and served as the director of the Business Ventures Group. He also serves on the Blackstone Accelerates Growth leadership team.

Migliaccio came to MTI from Idexx. He holds a B.S. in biology from the University of Southern Maine and earned his MBA from Southern New Hampshire University.

“I am very excited about these changes in our leadership team,” said Robert Martin, president of MTI. “Both Suzanne and Joe have tremendous breadth and experience in Maine’s business community.”
