NEW DIGS AND A NEW DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR THE NEW MUSEUM

The New Museum of Contemporary Art has hired former venture capitalist Lisa Roumell as its new deputy director, Miriam Kreinin Souccar reports in Crain’s New York Business. Roumell will be responsible for the daily operations of the museum and will help oversee its plans to build a new thirty-five-million-dollar, sixty-thousand-square-foot facility at 235 Bowery. She replaces Dennis Szakacs, who left the museum after six years to become the director of the Orange County Museum of Art in California.
