MARTINEZ – City Manager Brad Kilger announced Monday the hiring of Anne Cardwell as the assistant city manager for the City of Martinez. Cardwell will fill the position that was vacated by the previous Assistant City Manager Alan Shear, who left in April of this year to assume the position of administrative services director with the City of Millbrae.
Cardwell has over 22 years of experience in the public and private sectors as an administrative professional, 13 of which have been with the City of Benicia in the city manager’s office. For the last three years, she has served as the assistant city manager in Benicia, with oversight responsibilities for the administrative services departments (i.e., finance, human resources, and information technology). She is known in the city for her professionalism and leadership in the departments she oversees, as well as throughout the organization.
Cardwell is a graduate of UC Berkeley and has a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. She completed her Master’s work at UCLA in Educational Psychology.
“I am very grateful to have served the community of Benicia for the past 13 years, but I’m also really looking forward to working for the City of Martinez. I am honored to have been selected for this position and excited to take on this new opportunity.”
City Manager Brad Kilger noted “the City is very fortunate to get someone with Ms. Cardwell’s extensive background and breadth of experience. We look forward to having Anne on board.”
