I am pleased to announce that earlier today, City Council unanimously approved the appointment of David Jollimore as Deputy City Manager, Corporate Services, effective December 18, 2023.

Reporting to the City Manager, the Deputy City Manager, Corporate Services is responsible for managing the Corporate Real Estate Management, Customer Experience, Environment & Climate, Fleet Services, Technology Services and Office of the Chief Information Security Officer divisions.

Known for his commitment to business process improvement, transformation and equity initiatives, David brings more than 30 years of experience in engineering, operations, supply chain management and process improvement to the role.

David joined the City in 2014 as the Director of Business Performance Management, a position he held for three years. In 2017, he became Director, City-wide Real Estate Program. In September 2021, David became General Manager, Fleet Services, where he oversaw the provision and maintenance of more than 5,200 City vehicles, the modernization of fleet service delivery to drive significant reductions in downtime and maintenance costs and greening the City fleet to hit Net Zero targets by 2040 through the Sustainable Fleets plan.

This fall, he held rotational assignments in the role of Interim Deputy City Manager, Corporate Services.

Prior to joining the City, David held positions at Blackberry and Celestica and also ran his own consultancy business. He is a registered professional engineer with a degree from Dalhousie University (formerly the Technical University of Nova Scotia).

I would also like to acknowledge and thank Patrick Matozzo, who, along with David, assumed the role of Interim Deputy City Manager, Corporate Services, while the City undertook the recruitment process.

Please join me in welcoming David to his new role.
