Staff
 Director
As the Director of the Center for Innovation and Business Development, Ronald “Bud” Gayhart oversees the UW-Whitewater Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and the Wisconsin Innovation Service Center (WISC). As WISC director, Bud provides oversight for WISC research projects acting as a resource for proposal development and a leader for innovation within the center. Bud has spurred the development of new higher-level research products offered by WISC in response to changes in the business climate. Part of his insight as director comes from his personal experience as a former business owner who has developed new products and brought them to market. The manufacturing company Bud owned developed several new products under his direction and contracted with WISC for New Product Assessment reviews to provide data for informed decision making. In addition to his work as director of WISC market research and his business advising and economic development activities as SBDC director, Bud teaches the Small Business Consulting course at UW-Whitewater.
