Patricia Civil, a retired managing partner for PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, will chair the board.

 

About the members

Pirillo served as the top official for the nonprofit NYSTEC, which has offices in Rome, Albany, and New York City.

Besides the SRC Ventures board, Pirillo also serves on the board for NYSTEC.

Prior to joining NYSTEC, Pirillo was co-founder and president of The Center for Systems Thinking & Innovation, Inc., a training and consulting organization, according to the SRC news release. The Center for Systems Thinking & Innovation, Inc. is located in Oswego.

In addition to his membership on the SRC Ventures board, Tremont is also a member of SRC’s board of trustees, having worked for the organization for more than two decades.

He is also a member of the board of directors of the ESF College Foundation, Inc., which serves the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry; CenterState CEO; NUAIR; and St. Joseph’s Hospital.

NUAIR is short for Northeast UAS Airspace Integration Research Alliance, a nonprofit coalition of more than 70 private and public entities and academic institutions that operate UAS test ranges in New York, Massachusetts, and Michigan. UAS is short for unmanned-aircraft system, or what is also known as a drone.

Viggiano has 37 years of experience in the design and development of advanced sensor and communication systems and holds “multiple” patents in those areas, according to the SRC news release.

He launched Manlius–based Niteopark, LLC in April 2014, according to his LinkedIn page.

Viggiano in 2014 retired as head of Saab’s Traffic Management business which provides maritime and aviation traffic-management systems to airports and seaports around the globe.

He previously served for two years as CEO of Saab Sensis in DeWitt, according to the SRC news release.
