San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria has named his pick to fill the city’s vacant chief financial officer position, his office announced Tuesday. <\/p>\n
Rolando Charvel is the mayor’s nominee to become the city’s top financier, pending approval by the San Diego City Council. <\/p>\n
Charvel previously served as CFO from 2017-2020 before being succeeded by Matthew Vespi during the COVID pandemic. Vespi was hired as the Port of San Diego’s chief administrative officer last month, leaving the CFO seat vacant. <\/p>\n
Charvel currently serves as the city’s director of finance and city comptroller and has 26 years of experience in public finance.<\/p>\n
“Rolando has demonstrated exceptional financial stewardship, a deep commitment to public service and the strategic leadership we need to guide San Diego’s fiscal future,” Gloria said. “His track record of driving innovation, improving transparency and delivering results makes him the ideal candidate to serve as our chief financial officer.”<\/p>\n
The CFO leads the city’s financial strategy \u2014 including overseeing the budget \u2014 accounting, the city’s treasury and will serve as the mayor’s advisor on financial policy and fiscal planning.<\/p>\n
“I’m honored by the mayor’s confidence and grateful for the opportunity to continue serving the people of San Diego,” Charvel said. “Fiscal responsibility is the foundation of public trust, and I look forward to continuing our efforts to strengthen transparency, modernize systems and ensure the city’s long-term financial health.”<\/p>\n
Charvel joined the city in 1999 and has since held the positions of comptroller, director of financial reporting and CFO.<\/p>\n
Gloria’s office touted some of his accomplishments, including consolidating San Diego’s accounting, budgeting and debt management functions, saving the city more than $900,000 annually.<\/p>\n
Charvel serves as chair of the California Society of Certified Public Accountants Committee on Municipal Accounting. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting from San Diego State University, graduating cum laude.<\/p>\n
The City Council is expected to consider the appointment in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria has named his pick to fill the city’s vacant chief financial officer position,…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":284881,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5134],"tags":[5229,1582,276,525,3549,7264,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-284880","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-diego","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-california","11":"tag-finance","12":"tag-san-diego","13":"tag-sandiego","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-united-states-of-america","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","18":"tag-us","19":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115335164602351942","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=284880"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284880\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/284881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=284880"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=284880"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=284880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
