His work frequently focused on establishing and sustaining economic, environmental and organisational infrastructure essential to the health of the region.
Port of Portland, Chief Executive Officer, Curtis Robinhold, said: “No one brings more know-how to the work of administering large, complex institutions than Mike Jordan.
“Alongside his deep governing insights, we’ll benefit from his vast knowledge of the levers that move our region’s economy, including the critical importance of the Willamette River.”
Most recently, Jordan served as Interim City Administrator for the City of Portland during Mayor Keith Wilson’s first year in office.
This role built upon the expertise, relationships and trust Jordan earned in his tenure leading the City Transition Team as it prepared and facilitated the City’s transition to a new form of government.
Jordan fills the vacancy left by Sam Johnson.
