Port Control introduces two new assistant directors to committee
Summary
Port Control’s director introduced two newly hired assistant directors — Scott Carr (commercial business and revenue) and an assistant director for marketing communications and guest experience — to the Transportation & Mobility committee; both spoke briefly about joining Cleveland.
Port Control’s director introduced two new senior staff members to the Cleveland City Council Committee on Transportation & Mobility on March 26 as part of a miscellaneous business update.
The director said the department has filled two of four senior positions as part of a rebuild of the management team and invited the new hires to speak. He introduced Scott Carr as assistant director of commercial business and revenue, noting Carr joined the department a few months earlier and has experience at airports including Atlanta. Carr said, “I’m really excited to be here. This is an awesome experience and I’m glad to be in Cleveland,” and added he is ready to “hit the ground running.”
The director also introduced an assistant director of marketing communications and guest experience, who the director said comes to Port Control from Philadelphia International Airport. That assistant director said she is “great to be here” and “originally from Northeast Ohio,” adding she looks forward to working with the committee.
The director thanked interim staff members Dennis Kramer and Christine (last name not provided in the transcript) for handling additional duties while the senior team was rebuilt. He said two of four senior roles have been filled and that the department is midway through its planned management rebuild.
Why it matters: Senior-hire announcements signal changes in leadership at Port Control during ongoing operational and procurement activity. The hires were introduced to the committee but the transcript does not record formal confirmation votes or personnel actions requiring committee approval.
Details: Carr’s title is assistant director of commercial business and revenue. The marketing and guest-experience assistant director’s name was not provided in the transcript; the director referred to that hire as coming from Philadelphia International Airport and noted she has already begun work. The director said he appreciates interim duties handled by Dennis Kramer and Christine; Christine was not present at the meeting.
Next steps: The transcript does not record additional steps associated with the hires (no confirmation or vote recorded).
