Former Fort Worth Police Chief Ed Kraus has been named the new president and CEO of Sundance Square, replacing Sasha Bass, who had led the 37-block downtown commercial district since 2019.<\/p>\n

Kraus began his career at Sundance Square leading the security division after a 29-year career with the Fort Worth Police Department. He has led the company\u2019s strategic focus in areas including safety operations and organizational excellence.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are blessed to have very talented teams at Sundance Square working together to make an impact far greater than any of us could do alone. I am humbled to step into this role, and I will lead with the values and vision that have come to define this special place,\u201d Kraus said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Sasha and Ed Bass took full control of Sundance Square in 2019. Sasha Bass aimed to transform Sundance Square to more largely promote the arts and small businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe work at Sundance is much bigger than any one of us. We are proud to have created a space that has something for everyone \u2014 a place where everyone can feel they belong and where everyone is treated with dignity and respect,\u201d Sasha Bass said in a statement.<\/p>\n
