The Town of Amherstburg has a new Chief Administrative Officer.
Peter Simmons will take over the role from Tony Haddad who has been Acting CAO since John Miceli stepped away from the role in August.
"Tony’s presence and guidance over the past months has been invaluable. We knew we only had him for a short period, and we are very grateful for his work, energy and presence,” said Amherstburg Mayor Aldo DiCarlo.
Simmons has held executive-level positions in the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors. He holds a Master of Business Administration from the University of Leicester, a Master of Public Administration from Syracuse University, and is a Certified Municipal Manager and Human Resources Professional, a designation from the Ontario Municipal Management Institute.
“On behalf of Town Council, I am very pleased to welcome Peter Simmons as our next CAO,” said DiCarlo. “His leadership, style and range of experience will be a much needed and welcome addition to the Town. Council has agreed that Mr. Simmons has everything needed to lead Amherstburg into its next exciting chapter and made a unanimous decision to appoint him in this role," said DiCarlo.
Simmons will start as soon as council passes the official appointment bylaw on February 28, 2022.
