The Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) has named Tanya Tolpegin as its first CEO.
Tolpegin comes to the Washington, DC-based society from Professional Landcare Network (PLANET), a $6 million trade association for the lawn care and landscape industry. As CEO, she managed the successful merger of two legacy associations to form the current association, according to the SCCT.
Previously, she served as vice president of U.S.A. Floral Products, and was responsible for the management, execution, and marketing of branded floral products.
