Mount Pearl has named one of its own as the City’s new Chief Administrative Officer (CAO).
The City last month announced that Director of Corporate Service Cassie Rideout had been appointed as the new CAO following an extensive hiring process.
"I am profoundly honoured to have the opportunity to serve as the City of Mount Pearl's Chief Administrative Officer,” said Rideout in a City issued press release. “I look forward to continuing to work alongside Council, staff, and community partners to advance our shared vision for the future. Mount Pearl is a city with a clear and ambitious plan, and I am excited to lead our organization and work with, what I believe is the best municipal staff in the country, to achieve it."
Rideout initially served as the Manager of Marketing, Communications, and Economic Development for the City before being named Director of Corporate Services five years ago. She also boasts 15 years of experience in senior positions at financial organizations such as Manulife Investments and BlackRock Inc., and holds both a Bachelor of Business Administration and a Master of Technology Management, Engineering Technology, and Applied Science from Memorial University.
