Dear Hiring manager,

I am respectfully submitting my resume for the position of Assistant Director of Finance with the City of San Jose. I bring 17 plus
years of public finance, engineering and IT experience with a proven ability to lead a team delivering efficiencies to the organization.
In my current position at the Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) I lead a team of twenty, handling all components of capital
funding at PHL which include Commercial Paper program ($350 MM), Direct Loan ($125 MM), debt ($1.5 Bn), grants, Passenger
Facility Charges (PFC), and Customer Facility Charges (CFC). I monitor and track annual expenditures of $250 MM related to
operating and capital expenditures. In addition, my team and I are responsible for producing an annual capital budget of $500 MM as
well as the associated operating budget, which is approximately $120 MM including annual debt service payments.
In my current role at PHL as an Assistant Managing Director 2 (serving as Airport Treasury Manager) I have accomplished the
following:
 Fully cash fund sinking fund reserve
 Obtained first ever Non-Amt (government purpose) debt funding right to PHL (first Non-Amt bond issued in 2017)
 Implemented and managed the commercial paper program and direct loan
 Implemented DocuSign (digital signature) program
 Gathered and achieved centralization of all capital project funding approvals by the airlines
 Enhanced and improved all processes and managerial reports (Cost control, Capital project approval, budget, encumbrance,
expenditure, revenue collection, cash flow, etc.)

As listed above, I have been delivering efficiencies to PHL by improvements and enhancements for the past 7 years. In the Assistant
Director of Finance position, not only by influencing the capital funding area but I will be able to deliver efficient operation and
manage overall finance functions of the entire City of San Jose. Although I am currently located in Philadelphia, PA, I am seriously
considering relocation for a career opportunity to further my professional development.

With my duties at PHL, I interact with various stakeholders and this has provided opportunities to work effectively with people and
become a team player, recognizing the value of a coordinated approach. I promote and enjoy great team collaboration on all the duties
I perform. With the team, I lead to make the team better every day by listening to their ideas and needs. I mentor individuals to bring
out the best in them to improve the entire organization. I welcome constructive feedback to improve and enable me to become a better
leader. In addition, I also work to ease my superior’s day and provide data to make critical decision making less burdensome.

Prior to this position, I worked at the Philadelphia Water Department (PWD) serving double duty as a Civil Engineer / Utility Rates
Specialist. I performed reviews of the cost of service rate studies and assisted in developing the capital-planning budget of the PWD.
I also prepared the presentations for “Philly Stat”, the City of Philadelphia’s Performance Management Program. This experience
demonstrates that I have the required technical and analytical abilities to manage and lead a team.

In addition to my professional experience, I earned a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering at Temple University and a master’s
degree in government (public) administration (MGA/MPA) at the Fels Institute of Government at the University of Pennsylvania.
During my studies at Fels, I also obtained a Public Finance Certificate.
With a “can and will do” attitude, I am ready to further my career goals, lead an organization, deliver effective leadership, and
efficiencies that produce results. I hope that, upon reviewing my credentials, you will find my leadership skills, educational
achievements, and technical ability a good match for your organization. Should you require additional information to evaluate my
suitability for the available position, I would be pleased to respond in a timely fashion.
Thank you in advance for your thoughtful consideration of this application.

Sincerely,

Peter Kim
