REDWOOD CITY — County Executive Mike Callagy announced today the appointment of four experienced leaders to top positions in the County Executive’s Office, marking an exciting leadership restructuring aimed at strengthening public services, accelerating innovation, and advancing community priorities.
“The addition of these skilled leaders strengthens San Mateo County’s executive team at a critical time,” said Board President David Canepa. “With this new structure, the County is poised to navigate the complex challenges and advance community priorities in the years ahead.”
Following a nationwide recruitment effort, County Executive Mike Callagy has appointed Justin Mates and Adam Ely as Assistant County Executives, and Rocio Kiryczun and Nicholas Calderon as Deputy County Executives. Their appointments were confirmed by the Board of Supervisors today and are effective January 4, 2026.
The County Executive’s Office will now include two Assistant County Executives and two Deputy County Executives, providing greater leadership capacity to oversee departments, manage high-impact initiatives, and strengthen succession planning. The addition of a second Assistant County Executive, achieved by eliminating two vacant positions, enhances operational stability while generating annual savings of $317,381.
“This is a pivotal moment for San Mateo County,” said County Executive Mike Callagy. “The demands on local government continue to grow, from major capital projects and emergency readiness to the need for deeper community engagement and interagency collaboration. These leaders bring exceptional experience, institutional knowledge, and a deep commitment to public service. Together, they will help guide our County into the future with stability, innovation, and compassion.”
