Whitfield School

MERCY COVENANT HOUSE MISSOURI ST. PATRICK CENTER

The school welcomed two new members to its leadership team. Kathleen Kelly has been appointed director of development. She brings more than 13 years of experience working in education, most recently having served as the director of advancement at Community School. Erin Walsh will be taking over the position of director of communications and marketing. Now in her third year at Whitfield, she previously worked at Thomas Jefferson School as the director of enrollment and communications.

The health care system has selected Matt Wright to lead orthopedic and sports medicine across its multi-state region. His role is part of Mercy’s new focus on building an exceptional, consistent experience for patients regardless of where they live. Wright served as chief operations officer in Mercy’s Oklahoma region. In his new role, he will focus on increasing and optimizing in-person options in regions that need more specialists and expanding virtual options for all. The position is one of six roles that will lead specialty care services across Mercy, including cardiovascular, surgery and GI, neurosciences, oncology and women and children.

Dr. Yusef Scoggin has been appointed the nonprofit’s new chief executive officer. He brings more than a decade of experience in leadership, social work and community advocacy to the position. Most recently, Scoggin served as director of the Department of Human Services for the City of St. Louis, and he previously acted as director of the Office of Family & Community Services for the St. Louis County Department of Human Services. He replaces outgoing Covenant House CEO Jessica Erfling.

ST. LOUIS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

Paul Pietrowski has joined the orchestra as its new chief operating officer. He succeeds Erik Finley, who served as SLSO vice president and general manager from 2017 through January 2023. Pietrowski comes to St. Louis from six years with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. He holds a bachelor of music degree from James Madison University, a master of music degree in trombone performance from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and is a certified labor relations leader from Michigan State University.

The nonprofit has undergone a chief executive officer transition. Current CEO Anthony D’Agostino has stepped down, and senior director of philanthropy Amanda Laumeyer has been appointed interim CEO. Laumeyer has been with St. Patrick Center for seven years and has a 17-year career in nonprofit development.
