Frank Steslow, chief executive officer and president of the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science (Frost Science), announced today that he intends to step down in the first quarter of 2023. An accomplished scientist and nonprofit museum executive, Steslow joined Frost Science in 2007 as the museum’s chief operating officer. In 2016, he assumed the role of chief executive officer and president. Steslow oversaw the construction and development of the new Frost Science campus which opened in Downtown Miami in May 2017. Since opening, the museum has welcomed over 3.1 million visitors and has become one of South Florida’s most popular cultural organizations, enjoying record attendance levels and becoming a staple for residents and tourists alike.
“Frost Science is in a very strong position and has matured into a premier cultural and educational resource for South Florida. Leading this organization has been an extraordinary honor,” said Steslow. “My career has been focused on building great organizations and it feels like the right time for me personally. I have every confidence that Frost Science is on a path to a strong future.”
The Frost Science Board of Trustees announced that they will launch a national search for a new chief executive officer and president. The search will be led by the museum’s Board Executive Committee. Steslow will remain active as CEO through the search to ensure a smooth transition.
“On behalf of the Frost Science Board of Trustees, I would like to recognize Frank’s vision, energy, and leadership throughout his tenure. His dedication and experience are unparalleled, and we are confident that his successor will build upon the strong foundation that he has built,” said Cesar L. Alvarez, Chairman of the Frost Science Board of Trustees and Senior Chairman of Greenberg Traurig LLP. “We are thankful for his work and grateful that he will help the organization transition to new leadership. Frank has made a lasting mark on the museum and has helped position the museum to be an even greater contributor to the community for many years to come.”
Before joining Frost Science, Steslow was the chief executive officer of the Da Vinci Science Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where he led the institution’s expansion and successful opening of its new science center. He has also held executive leadership positions at the Florida Aquarium and the New Jersey Academy for Aquatic Sciences.
