Randal Charlton is stepping down as executive director of Wayne State University's TechTown, and general manager Leslie Smith is stepping up to fill the position. Charlton announced his pending retirement earlier this month before the TechTown Board of Directors, who adopted a resolution to appoint Smith as his successor beginning November 1. Charlton led the non-profit from infancy into an internationally-recognized business incubator. To date, TechTown has trained more than 2,200 entrepreneurs, directly invested $700,000 in early-stage businesses and is currently supporting 250 companies.
