Chelsea Piers has named Greta Wagner as executive director of Chelsea Piers in Stamford, Conn. Wagner will replace Mollie Marcoux, who is leaving the company in August to begin her role as the director of athletics for Princeton University.
“We are very lucky to have a person with Greta’s intelligence, work ethic and professional experience available to step into this important leadership role,” said David A. Tewksbury, the president of Chelsea Piers Connecticut, in a press release. “With Greta’s vast experience at Chelsea Piers New York and specifically the Sports Center health club, we are confident she will be a great addition to run Chelsea Piers Connecticut and open the new athletic club.”
Wagner has served as the senior vice president and general manager of the Chelsea Piers Sports Center in New York for the past 18 years. She has also served in the company’s Human Resources Department, overseeing management development and customer service training for Chelsea Piers’ employees. Wagner previously served as the general manager of the Golf Club at Chelsea Piers, a state-of-the-art golf range and teaching academy for children and adults.
In addition, Jared Deptula has been promoted from assistant general manager to general manager of the Sports Center at Chelsea Piers in New York City.
“Jared has been a key leader at two of our sports venues for more than a decade,” continued Tewksbury in the release. “He has trained with Greta for years and this is a great opportunity for him to lead one of our largest venues. I am confident in both of their abilities to seamless[ly] step into their new roles.”
According to the company, Wagner will continue to serve as general manager of the Sports Center through June 15th, while spending time at Chelsea Piers Connecticut during the transition. She will begin her full-time position at Chelsea Piers Connecticut on July 7, 2014.
