May 17, 2011 (Raleigh, NC)— Jimmy Wright has been named director of operations and planning for Campus Enterprises. Wright began the position on May 9, 2011.
In his new role, Wright will oversee renovation projects for various Campus Enterprises facilities, including dining and bookstore, as well as the student centers. Prior to joining Campus Enterprises, Wright worked as manager of construction services for the department of Facilities Management and Maintenance at NC State University since 2005.
With more than 25 years of management experience, Wright has overseen large-scale medical research, institutional, and commercial projects. Wright’s background and familiarity with the campus is expected to bridge the gap between Campus Enterprises and the department of Facilities Management and Maintenance.
“I expect that Jimmy’s transition from Facilities to Campus Enterprises will be relatively seamless,” said Dr. Adams, associate vice chancellor of Campus Enterprises. “He’s overseen many of our past renovation projects and knows the protocol to follow within our units. We’re looking forward to the experience he’ll bring to this position.”
