BREVARD COUNTY • VIERA, FLORIDA – Todd J. Pokrywa officially took over as President of The Viera Company on Friday. Pokrywa succeeds Steve Johnson, who served as The Viera Company’s president from 2005 – 2018.

“I’m excited to take on the leadership of the great team we have at The Viera Company who, like me, are passionate about pursuing the vision of Viera as a vibrant, master-planned community,” said Pokrywa.

Pokrywa composed his thesis on the master-planned community of Viera and with 23 years in the land planning and development field, including previous experience overseeing long-range and strategic planning at the master-planned community of Lakewood Ranch, Pokrywa came to The Viera Company for the purpose of eventually transitioning to the president of the company.

As part of the succession plan, Pokrywa had assumed many of Johnson’s responsibilities over the years in the business, community and with government relations to ensure a smooth transition.

“I have observed Viera grow into the vibrant community it is today from the time I was a student who chose to study the benefits of the plans for the new town as the topic for my thesis while attending Canada’s University of Waterloo in the early 1990s,” said Pokryw.
