John Sullivan has been promoted to be the next Rye assistant city manager.
Sullivan was first hired as assistant to the Rye city manager in April 2024 by former City Manager Greg Usry. Since that time, Sullivan has worked across departments leading projects and initiatives as a team member in the Office of the City Manager.
“John has been a steady and trusted presence for the city during a time of transition,” said Mayor Josh Nathan. “This promotion reflects both his talent and the respect he has earned across our organization. I’m confident he will continue to serve the Rye community with distinction.”
Before working in Rye, Sullivan earned his Master of Public Administration while working at SUNY Brockport. He then began his career in municipal government with the Village of Tuckahoe.
“John has been an invaluable asset to me and the city since joining our team in 2024,” said City Manager Brian Shea. “He consistently steps up and brings a thoughtful, solutions-oriented approach to complex municipal issues. His professionalism has earned him the respect of his peers here in Westchester County and across New York state. I am thrilled to have him take on this role.”
