Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced the appointment of Jon Keen to serve as the City of Atlanta’s chief operating officer. Keen’s appointment is effective immediately.
Keen joined the Bottoms Administration in 2018 as Deputy Chief Operating Officer. Before joining the Administration, Keen was a Manager for Deloitte Consulting LLP and IBM Global Services and was a Major in the United States Army.
