He was Capital Manager of Technical Operations internationally, providing all aspects of financial management for global engineering and facilities which consisted of a $260 million annual budget.

“I want to thank Mayor Pawlowski for the confidence he is displaying in me,” said Montoya. “Allentown is a growing and diverse community. I’m looking forward to working with the mayor, City Council and the residents and business people of the city. In previous roles, I’ve developed and or increased efficiencies through collaboration of various departments and cultures on a global basis to better serve the organization as a whole. I look forward to doing the same for the city of Allentown, albeit with challenges. I look forward to the opportunity and challenges that await me in this role.”

The purpose of the managing director is to encourage collaboration, cooperation and coordination among city departments to ensure that the policy directives of the mayor and City Council are properly communicated and reflected in the day-to-day operations of the city.
