A former vice president at the job-search firm Transition Solutions Inc. is the new president and CEO of the Marlborough Regional Chamber of Commerce.
Robert Schlacter of Hudson will replace Susanne Morreale Leeber, who retired last September after 27 years of leading the chamber.
Schlacter, whose appointment by the chamber was announced Tuesday, has three decades of experience in senior executive roles in sales, marketing, operations and business development.
He most recently served as vice president of business development and executive consultant at Transition Solutions, which has an office in Westborough. Before that, Schlacter spent 15 years at Staples serving in leadership roles in the North American retail and business advantage-contract divisions.
Schlacter was chosen from more than 100 applicants, the chamber said.
Michael Rodrigues, the incoming chair nominee for the chamber’s board of directors, called Schlacter “a dynamic leader with the vision, energy and diverse skills we need to lead the future of the chamber.”
