Washoe County says Eric Brown will assume the top executive role as the new Washoe County Manager beginning this Monday.

Most recently, Brown served as the President of California Telehealth Network, which provides broadband connections and other health IT services to hospitals and clinics in rural and medically underserved communities. 

“I look forward to building on my 20 years of serving in leadership positions in a variety of organizational settings, which included working relationships with multiple government and private business entities." said Brown. “I also look forward to working with our Board of Commissioners and serving the citizens of Washoe County.”

Brown brings over 20 years of a robust executive leadership and management background in a variety of organizational settings, including multiple Fortune 500 companies.

Brown received his Master of Business Administration in Marketing and General Management from the University of Virginia Darden School of Business, and his Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science from the University of California in Los Angeles.

The previous county manager, John Slaughter, retired earlier this year.
