Scott has appointed Republican Zachary Harvey of Castleton, effective Wednesday, to replace Chris Brown, who resigned in December.
Harvey is a fifth-generation Vermonter who works in financial services. He has held various roles at the New York Stock Exchange and its parent company. He previously worked at Nasdaq.
Harvey was selected from a list of candidates provided by the Castleton Republican Party.
