Serial entrepreneur plans ‘next chapter’ after Tampa Bay Wave
January 1, 2020 - Rich Heruska, accelerator director at Tampa Bay Wave, will transition out of his current role at Wave at the end of February. Heruska, a serial entrepreneur who joined Wave more than two years ago for what was supposed to be a 90-day consulting gig, is planning "the next chapter in his career," Linda Olson, Wave CEO, said in a Dec. 31 announcement. "I am extremely grateful for Rich’s leadership during an important period of transformation and growth for Tampa Bay Wave, and I am thrilled that Wave and the companies we serve will continue to benefit from his ongoing involvement beyond this transition," Olson wrote. Tampa Bay Wave, in downtown Tampa, is a nonprofit that houses and services technology startups. Heruska was the first guest on Startup Report; listen to that interview here.
