"Budgets are nothing if not a reflection of political choices and political will, and I am eager to make different decisions and to enact an agenda that puts first the many, not just the privileged, Mamdani said."
"Sherif Soliman is a skilled negotiator and dedicated public servant whose leadership of the OMB will ensure our administration fulfills our affordability agenda."
"[His] experience has been invaluable in navigating complex intergovernmental relationships and advocating effectively for the resources our students, staff and faculty need to succeed."
Zohran Mamdani appointed Sherif Soliman to lead the Mayor's Office of Management and Budget. Soliman brings nearly three decades of city government and public finance experience, most recently as CUNY senior vice chancellor and chief financial officer. Soliman helped CUNY cut its structural deficit by 77% in two years and secured over $400 million in new labor contracts after pandemic disruptions. Mamdani emphasized that budgets reflect political choices and pledged to prioritize affordability for many rather than privileged few. CUNY leadership credited Soliman with improving strategic sourcing, financial transparency, intergovernmental navigation, and long-term fiscal stability.
