A Word from the President & CEO
Hello Mountain View, Happy New Year!
I am honored and excited to be on board and leading the Chamber. As a Silicon Valley veteran, a Bay Area non-profit leader, and a Peninsula native, this role is like coming home. The Chamber is committed to helping our businesses and our community thrive together, we have a number of exciting events, initiatives, and info coming to do just that. Big thanks to our awesome team for making this happen, and special shout out to Dawn Maher who also served as interim CEO and led the team forward the last few months. Looking forward to working together to make Mountain View the best place to live and work!
- Peter Katz
