QUEENSBURY — Great Escape President Eric Gilbert is leaving the company, and a new person has been appointed president, Six Flags announced Friday.

Rebecca Wood, who has been the director of marketing and sales for Great Escape, was named president.

Wood is not related to the late Charley Wood, whose Storytown USA is now the Great Escape.

She began working for Great Escape in 2009. She is a graduate of St. Bonaventure University and sits on the board of directors for several civic organizations.

Tom Iven, Six Flags vice president of operations, came to Great Escape to give the winter employees the news.

“Rebecca’s vast knowledge of the current market and years of experience at the Great Escape property make her the perfect choice to lead this extraordinary resort into the future,” Iven said, according to a press release.

Wood said she was delighted to be chosen.
