Tiutin said: “The land within the port’s jurisdiction comprises a significant portion of the Oakland shoreline.
“I look forward to the opportunity to manage and maximise utility for the port’s commercial real estate portfolio. One of the highlights of this position is knowing that the work we do serves the public good by supporting thousands of local jobs and the economy on port property.”
