"I am proud to bring my leadership and experience to this important role in the city," said Williams. "I'm anxious to get started and serve the residents of Colorado Springs alongside Mayor Yemi."

This appointment reflects Mayor Mobolade's approach towards prioritizing collaboration, problem-solving, and results-driven leadership. Williams will officially begin his role as interim Chief of Staff on April 20th.
