Former County Administrator Jack Brown Named Visit Pensacola Interim President

October 24, 2019

Former Escambia County administrator Jack Brown of Molino will serve as the interim president of Visit Pensacola.

“Pensacola is home to me and what an exciting opportunity to be involved with an organization that plays such an important role in the community,” Brown said. “I am looking forward to working with the citizens of this community, Visit Pensacola stakeholders and partners and the destination’s future travelers.”

As county administrator, Brown oversaw the day-to-day operations of county government, led the county’s 13 departments, recommended an annual budget and served as a liaison to other local, state and federal entities.

Prior to his work in Escambia County, Brown retired from the U.S. Army in 1996 as a Lieutenant Colonel. From there, he served as general manager of RDS Manufacturing Company, a faculty member at Florida State University and Taylor County administrator.

Visit Pensacola is conducting a national search to recruit the next president and CEO of Visit Pensacola. A search committee will be created to evaluate potential candidates.

Brown will start at Visit Pensacola in late November to ensure a smooth transition before current President Steve Hayes’s final day on December 12. Hayes has accepted the CEO position at Visit St. Pete/Clearwater.
