CLEVELAND – County Executive Armond Budish announced today that Daro Mott, the Cuyahoga County Chief Innovation Officer, will return to Louisville-Jefferson County’s Office of Performance Improvement and Innovation as its Chief. Mott is expected to remain in his role with Cuyahoga County through the end of the year.
“In the short time that Daro has been with the county, he has already significantly changed how we think about county government and serving our constituents. He has made strides in improving customer service functions, developing outcome measures, and involving employees at all levels in creating and supporting innovation. We support the decision he and his family have made to return to their previous home in the Louisville community, and wish him well. We are committed to innovation in county government and are going to continue what he started with the excellent staff he has developed and the processes he has already put in place,” said County Executive Armond Budish.
“I have been very impressed with Cuyahoga County government and its leaders and staff” said Mott. “These are highly committed and dedicated public servants who want to improve how they serve their constituents, and who are open to doing things differently. I regret that I will not help lead Cuyahoga County’s innovation efforts but am confident that Louisville-Jefferson County and Cuyahoga County will form a strong partnership to ensure that ongoing improvements and new ideas flow into county government. Our family did the best we could to establish new ties and a new life in Cleveland, but our connection to Louisville was too strong, and it was difficult to pass up the opportunity to continue innovation work in a community that is still important to us.”
