Fox Hill’s resident board of directors is pleased to announce the appointment of Bob Bettachi as the board’s new president.
Bob moved to Fox Hill Village in 2022, having previously lived on Nantucket Island and in Lexington, MA. Originally from the Philadelphia area, Bob received his degree in chemical engineering from Villanova University. He then enjoyed a nearly 40-year career at W.R. Grace — a chemicals business — during which he held many roles in sales, marketing, and research and development. Bob led the growth of different divisions through strategic planning, restructuring, eliminating outmoded products, and developing new products. He was serving as senior vice president when he retired in 2006. Following his retirement from W.R. Grace, Bob consulted with private equity and corporate clients, providing pre-acquisition strategy and post-acquisition management coaching.
After his wife, Karen, died in 2017, Bob moved from Lexington to his summer home in Nantucket. He has served on the Boards of St. Francis House in Boston, the Cambridge Trust Company, the Alzheimer’s Association, and the Associated Industries of MA. He also has served on the Fox Hill Village Finance and Strategic Planning Committees. The Fox Hill Village Board of Directors is comprised of Fox Hill residents and is solely focused on the needs and preferences of the people who live in our community. We are thrilled to have such a broad pool of talented and experienced residents to serve on our board and committees and look forward to exciting things to come under Bob’s leadership.
