Boston, Massachusetts, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTiffany Chu is a civic-minded leader with 12 years of experience at the intersection of urban planning, design, and technology, currently serving as Chief of Staff to Boston Mayor Michelle Wu where she oversees a 19,000-person, $4B organization. She co-founded Remix, scaling it from urban research roots into a mission-driven platform used by 500+ cities worldwide and later helped integrate the company post-acquisition at Via. Her background spans hands-on UX research and design at Zipcar and MIT Media Lab to strategic public-sector roles—including a commissioner post in San Francisco—bringing both human-centered design and policy savvy to complex transportation and climate challenges. Tiffany combines startup grit with municipal governance experience, able to translate data, design, and policy into operational impact. A less obvious thread through her career is a consistent focus on informal urban systems (from sidewalk mapping in Ho Chi Minh City to transit planning) that informs pragmatic, equity-focused solutions.
