Mark Wentworth Home Hires New CEO and President

William Henson will now lead Portsmouth non-profit senior services facility.

The Mark Wentworth Home Board of Trustees recently appointed William C. Henson as the Home’s President and Chief Executive Officer.  As President and CEO, Henson will work closely with the Home’s Trustees and in collaboration with Executive Director Deborah Rodier to solidify the Home’s position as a non-profit leader in seacoast senior services.  

Board of Trustees President, Raymond Ambrogi said,  “This position has been created in recognition of the increasing complexity of operating a long term care facility. Coupled with the Home’s expanded presence in Portsmouth’s senior services through its Adult Day Care and Senior Transportation Programs, our vision for the future of this organization warranted the addition of a senior executive with a varied business background. We are certain that Bill’s commitment and knowledge will serve us well.”

Henson, a native of Portsmouth, has an extensive background in banking and has operated his consulting firm, Whaleback Associates, for the past ten years.  He joined the Mark Wentworth Home’s Board of Trustees in 2001 and served as President from 2004 to 2009 before stepping down from the Board in 2011. He has been acting as the Home’s Chief Operating Officer since October of last year and lives in New Castle with his wife Barbara.
