Synapse Florida on Thursday announced that founder and CEO Brian Kornfeld will resign his position as of May 1, when longtime executive Lauren Prager will succeed him.

Prager, according to a news release, joined Synapse Florida — the technology-focused nonprofit organization that hosts the annual Synapse Summit in Tampa — in 2018. She started as a volunteer and worked her way up to vice president of community engagement and chief strategy officer.

“Lauren has been a driving force behind the scenes for years and has become a visionary leader of the community and the team,” Kornfeld states in the release. “I am beyond thrilled that somebody so talented will take Synapse to the next level as her vision and strategy in community building is truly unique and top notch.”
