The American Red Cross in Connecticut has a new leader.

Richard V. Branigan has been named Red Cross’ new regional CEO covering Connecticut and Rhode Island.

He replaces Mario Bruno, who served as the region’s CEO for 12 years before accepting a leadership position with the national American Red Cross this past October.

Branigan joined the Red Cross in 2012, most recently serving as chief operating officer for the Connecticut and Rhode Island region. Throughout his tenure, he has served in interim roles in nearly every aspect of the regional functions, including interim regional CEO for the past several months and on more than one occasion.

Branigan serves on the board of directors and is currently chairman of the Connecticut Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster; he is also a member of the Honor Flight Connecticut committee and on the state Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security advisory council.

Since joining the Red Cross, Branigan has supported over a dozen local and national disaster responses, including Superstorm Sandy, the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, Tropical Storm Isaias, Tropical Storm Henri, and most recently, the Lewiston, Maine shooting.
