The Port of Greater Baton Rouge has announced the appointment of three directors to strengthen its leadership team and support its continued growth and strategic priorities, reports Biz New Orleans. Tim Pinter will serve as director of business development, Melissa Folse as director of corporate and legal affairs, and Candace L. Griffin as director of communications and grants.
The appointments come amid several leadership changes at the port. Pinter’s appointment follows Greg Johnson’s previously announced promotion to executive director. Johnson, who served as deputy director while also overseeing business development, helped advance initiatives that Pinter will continue to build upon.
Folse will succeed Steve Glusman, who is retiring after more than 40 years of service to the port, including his work as outside counsel and, for the past 11 years, as general counsel. Griffin’s appointment expands the port’s focus on communications, stakeholder engagement and identifying grant funding opportunities to support strategic investments and future growth.
