The president and CEO of the BBB serving Central Virginia, based in Glen Allen, is retiring.

Barry N. Moore announced his retirement this month from the position in order to focus on business education and for-profit and nonprofit boards support.

"The board of directors greatly appreciates Barry's dedicated service and leadership over the last four years,” said Richard Johnstone, chairman of the BBB-CV Board of Directors. “During his tenure, he did a great job raising the profile of the BBB across Central Virginia and leading us successfully through the hardships imposed by COVID-19. As we begin to emerge from the pandemic, our bureau is poised for additional growth as the trusted marketplace for businesses and consumers in our region.”

The BBB-CV Board has appointed the bureau's CFO, Thomas A. Gelozin, to serve as interim CEO, while it undertakes a national search for Moore's successor.

Moore previously served as a Marine Corps public affairs director (including twice for Quantico) and also as a combat engineer officer, a businessman specializing in brand marketing and crisis management, an education leader at both Virginia Tech and Liberty University, and the past four years as BBB serving Central Virginia’s president.

His family roots in Virginia go back centuries. He and his wife, Soledad, are the parents of three children.
