Tech council taps Hopcroft as director

The Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council, which focuses on issues of importance to the state's software and technology companies, named Tom Hopcroft as executive director.

Hopcroft will take over management of the day-to-day operations of the council from council president Joyce Plotkin, the council said.

Plotkin remains council president, and responsibilities are being shifted to allow her to focus more on the external activities of the organization, said the council, which added that it was also responding to Plotkin's desire to reduce her work load and move to a four-day work week.
