Taylor will assume the role January 1, upon the retirements of Dave Bolcar, NNS vice president of engineering and design, and Brian Fields, NNS vice president and chief technology officer (CTO). In Taylor\u2019s new position, the chief technology officer role will become embedded within engineering and design, in order to best focus on waterfront support and technology.<\/p>\n
