Aurora Downtown is excited to announce the hiring of its new executive director, Christina “Tina” de Chaud. Tina brings more than 20 years of business experience with her most recent positions being associate director, Client Operations at Baker McKenzie and previously SVP, manager of Worldwide Marketing and Resource Services at Foote, Cone, & Belding (FCB) in Chicago.
She is a small business owner which gives her a first-hand shared perspective with many of the business owners in Special Service Area (SSA) 1, which represents much of downtown Aurora. She is a first-generation Aurora native and living in the community with her husband and two children.
“I love my hometown and am completely delighted for this opportunity to showcase Aurora across audiences to not only share all the wonders about our city and downtown businesses but also introduce new audiences to our beautiful, active, and historically-rich City. It’s truly an exciting time with all the development and changes within Aurora especially with the residential and business growth in the downtown district.”
