Greg brings over 20 years of experience in private sector water infrastructure engineering and public utility management to the Agency, most recently as the General Manager of the Ross Valley Sanitary District. Prior to his time working in Marin County, he was the General Manager of the Mammoth Community Water District in the Sierras. “I’m thrilled to join an organization that is committed to a more sustainable future,” Greg says. Greg will lead all WWE operations and capital improvement programs, including the Sewer System Improvement Program (SSIP); manage RainReadySF, the City’s comprehensive flood resilience strategy, and other climate change and sea level rise initiatives; oversee WWE functions of the Department Operations Center during disaster preparedness, response and recovery; and provide direction on many other Enterprise priorities.
