New finance director
Will Fuentes took over as Campbell’s finance director on May 6. He will oversee a staff of eight.
Fuentes comes to Campbell from Milpitas, where he served as that city’s finance director. In his 21-year career, he has also worked as an assistant finance director for San Leandro and as a revenue and budget manager for Union City.
“We received a good number of applications from qualified candidates, but I was most impressed with Will’s experience in the field of local government finance,” said city manager Brian Loventhal. “I look forward to working with him, especially now as our city embarks on a $50 million project to improve our library and police facilities.”
Fuentes lives in Newark and has two daughters who are in middle school.
