AdvanceCT appoints two new executives to board 

Contributed Jeffrey Flaks, president and CEO of Hartford HealthCare, and Peter Denious, the founding CEO of AdvanceCT.

Two well-known members of the business community have joined AdvanceCT’s board of directors.

They are Jeffrey Flaks, president and CEO of Hartford HealthCare, and Peter Denious, the founding CEO of AdvanceCT, a nonprofit that works to retain and recruit businesses to Connecticut.

AdvanceCT was founded in 2020 as a rebrand of the Connecticut Economic Resource Center.

Flaks leads Hartford HealthCare, the second-largest healthcare system in Connecticut, which generated $6.2 billion in revenue in 2023.

Flaks has a master’s degree in health and services administration from George Washington University and an undergraduate degree from Ithaca College.

Denious worked for 17 years at FLAG Capital Management and its successor, Aberdeen Standard Investments. He has an MBA from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth and an undergraduate degree from Trinity College.

John Bourdeaux, president and CEO of AdvanceCT, said Denious’ knowledge of the organization will help steer it “through the headwinds” and add value to its work.

Bourdeaux also said AdvanceCT will benefit from Flaks’ “experience integrating technology into large-scale operations.”

“What is more, Jeff is a tireless advocate for Connecticut and committed to the state’s economic vibrancy, which aligns perfectly with our mission,” Bourdeaux said.

Recently, AdvanceCT named Adam Norwitt, CEO of Amphenol Corp., and Judy Olian, president of Quinnipiac University, as co-chairs of its board of directors.
