The City of San Bernardino announced that Andrea E. Russell has joined its leadership team as its new Director of Human Resources and Risk Management.
“Andrea Russell has demonstrated diverse and distinguished human resources experience during her time with New York City,” said City Manager Charles Montoya. “Her background in recruiting will be instrumental as San Bernardino continues to strategically hire additional employees.”
Russell joined San Bernardino in June 2023 as lead human resources analyst and has served as interim director of human resources and risk management since January. Prior to joining the City, Russell served as a human resources consultant to various public sector agencies in the areas of recruitment and candidate screening, applicant tracking system management, and employee classification and compensation.
“I am honored to serve as Director of Human Resources and Risk Management for the City of San Bernardino,” said Russell. “This is an exciting time for the city and I look forward to contributing to its success.”
Prior to consulting, Russell worked in human resources for over 20 years with local government agencies, including San Bernardino County and the cities of Covina, Riverside and Henderson (Nevada). While at the county, she led the classification and compensation process; overhauled the recruiting process from application to hire; implemented innovative off-site recruiting activities; and worked with union representatives.
Russell holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Nevada State University and a master’s degree in human resource management from Capella University.
The Director of Human Resources and Risk Management is responsible for the planning, organization, direction and implementation of San Bernardino’s city-wide human resources and risk management programs. This includes recruitment, employment, classification, payroll, employee relations, training and development, performance reviews, benefits and workers’ compensation for the city’s 879 employees.
Russell replaces Suzie Soren, who was promoted to deputy city manager in January.
