Livestrong Taps Former Komen Executive as New CEO

The Livestrong Foundation, the onetime juggernaut created by cyclist Lance Armstrong, has named as its new CEO a former top official from Susan G. Komen, another cancer charity whose powerful brand has been battered in recent years. Chandini Portteus, who spent nearly a decade at Komen, "is perfectly suited to lead the next stage of Livestrong’s evolution," said Jeff Garvey, chairman of the foundation’s board of directors, in a statement.
