BOSTON - Thursday, June 27, 2024 - Mayor Michelle Wu today announced the appointments of Ricardo Patrón as Deputy Chief of Staff and Emma Pettit as Press Secretary. Pettit will begin serving as Press Secretary on July 1, 2024. Patrón will transition into the Deputy Chief of Staff role through the month of July. Deputy Chief of Staff Yusufi Vali will be moving out of the City to attend to family matters and will transition out of the role.

Their leadership will help Boston move forward in our work to deliver for all of Boston’s communities.”


Patrón will support Mayor Wu and Chief of Staff Tiffany Chu in leading the Mayor’s Cabinet and implementing Mayor Wu’s vision to make Boston a home for everyone. He will play a key role in advancing Mayor Wu’s priorities, strengthening City government to be responsive to residents’ needs and voices, and ensuring strong collaboration between City departments, local organizations, and other levels of government to effectively deliver programs and services. 


“We are incredibly lucky to have such a strong team and to be able to promote from within,” said Chief of Staff Tiffany Chu. “Ricardo and Emma have been indispensable in the Mayor’s Office from day one, and I am overjoyed to partner with them even more closely in their new leadership roles as we continue to make impactful change across our organization and our city.”
