San Mateo Names Alex Khojikian as New City Manager

By Bay City News.

The San Mateo City Council has appointed Alex Khojikian to serve as city manager, according to an announcement issued this week by city officials.

Khojikian, who currently serves as a deputy city manager in Redwood City, was selected after a nationwide search and will begin his new role on August 21.

Khojikian said in the announcement that he is excited to get started.

“San Mateo is a dynamic and inclusive city with diverse neighborhoods and business districts, and my goal is to support people of all backgrounds so that everyone in the community can thrive. I look forward to the work ahead and know that collaboration and engagement with residents, businesses, regional partners, community organizations and stakeholders is key to achieving community priorities."

San Mateo Mayor Amourence Lee praised Khojikian for his "passion for community involvement" and said he would be a suitable replacement for outgoing City Manager Drew Corbett.

"His dedicated leadership guided our city through the pandemic and it is thanks to his tireless efforts that our city is on a strong footing," Lee said of Corbett in the announcement.

Corbett will retire on June 30, and Community Development Director Christina Horrisberger will serve as interim city manager until Khojikian takes office.
