The Fletcher Allen Health Care Board of Trustees accepted the appointment of Timothy C. Davis to the board at its June 14th meeting. He will complete the term of Geoffrey Shields, dean of Vermont Law School, who resigned earlier this year. That term ends in December 2012. Davis will then be eligible to serve his first four-year term, pending board approval.
Davis is a managing director of FreshTracks Capital, L.P., a Shelburne-based company managing venture capital that is invested with a core focus on Vermont. FreshTracks pursues investing opportunities in high-growth private companies in the underserved capital markets of Vermont and the adjacent counties of New York, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
“We are very pleased to have Tim Davis join the Fletcher Allen Board,” said Roger Stone, chair of the Fletcher Allen Board of Trustees. “He brings a wide range of highly relevant expertise in both finance and business processes that will be very helpful to us.”
“I am excited and honored to join the Fletcher Allen Board, Davis said. “This organization is an important part of the fabric of Vermontand of the greater region. I look forward to playing a role in its stewardship.”
Prior to joining FreshTracks Capital, Davis managed a series of technology-based companies in various high-tech industry fields, taking them from embryonic organizations to solid companies that were eventually purchased by other businesses.
Davis currently serves on the boards of companies in the high-tech sector, including NEHP in Williston, SolarOne in Needham, MA, and Solais in Stamford, CT. He is an observer with the boards of Draker Labs in Burlington and Auterra in Malta, NY.
He is also active on numerous non-profit boards, including his role as founding partner of Social Venture Partners in Boston, and various boards of the Cohasset (MA) Second Congregational Church. In Vermont he serves on the board of ECHO, has served on the board of Mobius, the Mentoring Movement, and is past president of the Artworks Education Foundation.
Davis graduated from the University of Vermont with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1968, and then attended Harvard Business School, earning a Master’s of Business Administration degree in 1970.
