“Celene is an experienced leader with a passion for innovation, strategic thinking and relationship building,” Jorgenson said in a media release.
“She has demonstrated collaborative and values-based leadership throughout her career at the City and has a broad range of experience from overseeing major construction and design projects to leading several significant change and transformation projects across the organization. She is in a great position to oversee the important civic programs, services and infrastructure the Community Services division provides to the community.”
Community services is a broad division covering many of the city’s customer-facing services, such as parks and recreation, building and community standards and the city’s planning and development division.
While the role is new, Anger has already served since 2020 as one of the city’s most senior executives, working as the chief strategy and transformation officer. Her career with the city began in 2013 with a position as a project engineer and saw her rise to director of construction and design and serve a brief term as chief operating officer of the Remai Modern art gallery on her way to her current role.
