Georgia Tech Announces Leadership Change

As of March 6, Shantay Bolton is stepping down from her role as executive vice president for Administration and Finance to pursue new opportunities that align with her long-term professional goals. 

Bolton has been with Georgia Tech since 2023 and has overseen major construction and infrastructure projects, improved administrative processes, implemented significant changes in Athletics finances, and developed a sustainable procurement guide. Beyond her administrative duties, Bolton has been an active leader in the Atlanta community and on campus, championing projects such as the Divine Nine Plaza and the Pathway of Progress. 

Kim Toatley, vice president for Finance and Planning, will serve as interim executive vice president for Administration and Finance while a national search is conducted for a permanent replacement. Bolton will serve as a senior advisor through March 31 to ensure a smooth transition. 

“Shantay Bolton’s leadership has driven meaningful progress in Georgia Tech’s infrastructure, financial operations, and administrative processes,” said President Ángel Cabrera. “Her impact will continue to benefit our campus and community for years to come, and we are grateful for her service to the Institute.”
