Congratulations to Peter Antonacci on his official appointment as the next president and CEO of Enterprise Florida.

Antonacci is the former general counsel for Governor Rick Scott, as well as a former lobbyist for GrayRobinson. He’ll resign his position as the executive director of the South Florida Water Management District and start as the new leader for Enterprise Florida on August 2.

Since the abrupt departure of Chris Hart right before the 2017 Florida session began as the CEO and president of EF, Mike Grissom has managed the agency responsible for helping to bring business and create more jobs for Florida. Grissom is expected to continue to be a part of EF.
