For budget director, Kenney tapped Anna Wallace Adams, who is now chief of staff in the city's finance department. She previously has worked as deputy budget director and legislative director at the European Parliament, in Brussels.

Catherine Paster will stay on as first deputy finance director, a post she has held for eight years. Kenney said in that time she has implemented financial management policies that have "proved extremely beneficial to preserving our finances."
