Derrick Seaver, the new CEO of the Silicon Valley Organization (SVO), gives us his take on his new job and how he sees the SVO functioning after its political meltdown last year. We’ll have questions from special guests Anil Babbar of the California Apartment Association (which dropped its SVO membership after the election controversy) and Jean Cohen of the South Bay Labor Council. We conclude with an excerpt from our 2020 interview with San Jose City Manager Dave Sykes who retires in July. His views on changing San Jose’s form of government from council-manager to strong mayor may surprise you.
