Dan Rossi is the new executive director of the Northwest Entrepreneur Network, replacing Rebecca Lovell, who took on a business-development job at tech news startup GeekWire earlier this month. Rossi was co-founder of Nanocel, a startup focused on an advanced liquid-cooling system for computer chips. He earned an MBA from the University of Washington last year. Lovell was executive director of NWEN for just over two years, and worked as program director for the Alliance of Angels for nearly three years before that. In announcing Rossi’s hiring, NWEN said Lovell will become a board member at the organization in addition to her chief business officer job at GeekWire.
