Santa Rosa Metro Chamber Names New CEO

The Santa Rosa Metro Chamber has announced that its Board of Directors has chosen Peter Rumble as President and CEO, effective February 7, 2018.

“I believe that Peter's going to be an exceptional leader for the Chamber,” says Mike Purvis, Chamber Board Chair and CEO of Sutter Santa Rosa Regional Hospital & Novato Community Hospital. “His vision around what the Chamber can be and his ability to engage in collaborative relationships will be an effective complement to the work that the Chamber does. I was impressed with his strong vision on topics including downtown and community development and look forward to his positive influence.”

Rumble comes to the Chamber from the County of Sonoma where he held the role of Deputy County Administrator, responsible for a $1.5 billion budget and 4,000+ full time employees. His extensive background in government with the County of Sonoma, San Francisco Board of Supervisors, and U.S. Government Accountability Office will inform many of the programs and advocacy initiatives the Chamber undertakes. Additionally, his time as CEO of California Clean Power enables Rumble to effectively lead the Chamber into new opportunities benefitting the business economy and local community.

The Santa Rosa Metro Chamber CEO represents the membership, advocates on behalf of business interests, interfaces with stakeholders, builds business partnerships, maintains government relations, and advances collaborative endeavors with associations and other Chambers. With more than 900 member organizations and 18 full- and part-time employees, the CEO oversees the Chamber’s budget of over $3 million.

We look forward to an exciting future at the Chamber under Peter's leadership.
