GREENSBORO, N.C. — The City of Greensboro has officially announced the appointment of Tiffany Oliva as Assistant City Manager, effective Wednesday, November 12.
City Manager Nathaniel “Trey” Davis made the announcement, noting Oliva’s broad experience across both city and county government, including her recent role as Assistant Town Administrator for Operations in Brookline, Massachusetts. Before that, she served as Director of Intergovernmental Affairs & Strategic Initiatives for the City of Winston-Salem and Program & Fiscal Recovery Manager with Guilford County.
During the pandemic, Oliva managed one of the region’s largest federal funding initiatives—over $150 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds—which supported housing security, public health, broadband expansion, and critical water and sewer infrastructure.
“Ms. Oliva is vested in the Piedmont Triad, touting experience in both city and county government, plus she brings an outside perspective from Massachusetts,” said City Manager Davis. “Greensboro will benefit greatly from her ability to lead major infrastructure projects during this time of unprecedented growth.”
As Assistant City Manager, Oliva will oversee several key departments, including Engineering & Inspections, Planning, Solid Waste & Recycling, Transportation, and Water Resources.
“It is an honor to return home to Greensboro,” Oliva said. “I am grateful for the opportunity to give back to the community that shaped who I am and to help ensure our infrastructure supports the city’s rapid economic growth.”
