Chief Resilience Officer, City and County of San Francisco

Patrick Otellini is the Chief Resilience Officer for the City and County of San Francisco, tasked with developing the city’s resiliency strategy in conjunction with the 100 Resilient Cities initiative pioneered by the Rockefeller Foundation. Otellini was originally appointed by Mayor Ed Lee in October of 2012 as the Director of San Francisco’s Earthquake Safety Implementation Program.
