The Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing (CCAM) announces the creation of a Partner Success Manager position, following a strategic analysis of member needs. This role was developed intentionally to elevate collaboration and research impact. It serves as a central, responsive contact point and seamlessly integrates CCAM’s research strategy with emerging member needs.

“CCAM is committed to investing in the success of our members,” says John Milton-Benoit, CCAM President and CEO. “This initiative will create more opportunities and value-added research results for CCAM members and stakeholders.”

Dan Cunningham leads this new strategic role at CCAM, bringing a wealth of experience from his distinguished eight-year tenure at Lucideon.
