Dublin San Ramon Services District recently welcomed new faces to its senior management team.
Fresh to the district are its Assistant General Manager Jon Wunderlich and Finance Director Jayden Sangha.
They are tasked with helping run a district that provides potable water and recycled water to nearly 200,000 individuals in Dublin and the Dougherty Valley area as well as wastewater services in the Tri-Valley.
Wunderlich and Sangha join the team amid the retirements of Administrative Services Director Michelle Gallardo and Interim Finance Director Ken Spray, according to a statement last month by DSRSD officials announcing the onboarding.
The assistant GM position had been vacant since current general manager Jan Lee was promoted in 2023 from the assistant position, DSRSD officials told Pleasanton Weekly.
Given Gallardo’s retirement, the assistant GM role was reconfigured to oversee the finance and administrative services departments.
“I am excited to welcome both Jon Wunderlich and Jayden Sangha to DSRSD,” Lee said in a statement. “Their collective experience and dedication will be tremendous assets to the District.”
Wunderlich comes to DSRSD with over 20 years of experience in public sector finance and administration, most recently serving as the Director of Finance & Administration for the Alameda County Water District.
He has a master’s in public policy and a bachelor’s in economics from Brigham Young University.
As assistant general manager, Wunderlich will support Lee and oversee the district’s finance and administrative services departments.
“Jon’s extensive experience overseeing financial and administrative operations, deep understanding of utilities, and forward-thinking approach will help the District navigate the many challenges and opportunities ahead for our industry,” Lee said in the statement.
Sangha joins DSRSD to lead its finance, accounting and utility billing customer service divisions.
Sangha also brings with him leadership experience in public finance, having worked most recently as Controller for the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, according to DSRSD officials.
As Controller, Sangha managed an operating budget of $640 million and helped guide a multi-billion-dollar capital investment plan. Sangha has also worked in local government and utilities, district officials added.
He is equipped with a master’s in business administration from San Francisco State University and a bachelor’s in analytical finance from California State University, Stanislaus.
“Jayden’s leadership will strengthen the District’s long‐term planning and support our commitment to providing reliable, cost‐effective services to the community,” Lee said.
