Prosper Portland Announces New Leadership Appointments

Prosper Portland, the economic and urban development agency for the city of Portland, announced two additions to the agency’s leadership team.

Lisa Pettinati will serve as the agency’s director of real estate and community development, and Jenna Diallo has been selected as the agency’s director of capital access. Pettinati will lead the agency’s urban development efforts in Portland’s 13 Tax Increment Finance districts and throughout the city. Diallo will oversee the agency’s lending and grant-making work. Pettinati is a strategic enterprise leader with an extensive background in large-scale real estate and construction finance. Diallo has more than 20 years of experience designing investment programs and strategic partnerships.

“Lisa Pettinati’s experience overseeing large-scale partnerships will be invaluable as the city looks to make catalytic investments and further strengthen our deep partnerships, both in the Central City and in East Portland’s new TIF districts,” said Executive Director Cornell Wesley. “Similarly, Jenna Diallo’s experience in resource deployment will help us make thoughtful, results-driven investments through both our grant and loan programs.”
