Mark Nunnelly, a former Bain Capital managing partner, will be Massachusetts' next commissioner of revenue.
Administration and Finance Secretary Kristen Lepore appointed Nunnelly to succeed Amy Pitter, who held the job under former governor Deval Patrick.
Nunnelly will also work as a special adviser to Gov. Charlie Baker on "technology and innovation competitiveness," a position in which he will advise Baker on attracting innovation companies.
"I am excited to have Mark join my administration in these important roles," Baker said in a statement. "His track record of building organizations and growing companies in Massachusetts and across the country will add greatly to our policy discussions and initiative."
