Amy Bradac

Founder & CEO

Bradac Co

In 2011, Amy founded Bradac Co as a full-service real estate construction management firm. As the CEO, she is responsible for the daily operations of the company, building new business relationships, and ensuring our team delivers high quality, high value service to all of our clients. Amy's career started at an award winning architecture firm. After a number of years of experience on high profile corporate, academic and retail projects, she left to gain practical experience in implementing design and administering construction, landing at one of the premier independent construction companies in the Bay Area. She thought it would be only a few years before she returned to working at an architecture office, but the work was so exciting and challenging that she worked as a Project Manager managing commercial construction for seven years. Eventually, her dedication to her client's best interests led to working as an owners representative and construction manager. Amy’s two decades of diverse experience as an architect and contractor give her the unique perspective of having viewed the industry from every angle, which makes her particularly adept at facilitating communication between all project participants, and moving projects forward on time and on budget.

Jim Hartnett

CEO

Caltrain

With 35 years of service to my community, I look forward to continuing that record at the San Mateo County Transit District. Born to a family of public servants it is only natural that my path has led me to this role as the General Manager and CEO of SamTrans, Caltrain and the TA. Mobility is vital to the residents and industry of San Mateo County and I’m eager to build upon the work that has already been done by those before me.

I began my career of public service with the United States Navy Reserve after graduation from Redwood City's Sequoia High School. Through the G.I. Bill I was able to graduate and begin a career in law and civic service. I have been honored and fortunate to have served as a city council member and Mayor of my hometown, Redwood City. My civic interests continued as the Chair of both the SamTrans and Caltrain board of directors. More recently I was appointed to and served as vice chair on the California High Speed Rail Authority board. I believe that active participation in the entities and processes of our democracy is critical to our future and to our success as a region, state and nation. In my role as General Manager and CEO of the San Mateo County Transit District I am proud to continue my journey of public service, performing meaningful work in my community.
