Cordero, Mario — Port of Long Beach
Executive Director
Port of Long Beach
THE LATEST: Cordero is leading the Port of Long Beach through the coronavirus crisis, ensuring that goods keep flowing and putting a priority on the movement of medical equipment while protecting the health of the public and the port's workers. Last year was the second-busiest in the port's 118-year history, as it handled 7.6 million containers despite the ongoing trade war between the U.S. and China. In two major votes of confidence for the port, Australian firm Macquarie Infrastructure Partners signed a lease to operate the Long Beach Container Terminal through 2051. And Pacific Container Terminal, marine terminal operator SSA and its partner, Cosco Shipping, agreed to a 20-year lease extension with the port.
BACKGROUND: Before joining the Port of Long Beach as executive director in 2017, Cordero was appointed to the Federal Maritime Commission by President Barack Obama in 2011. Prior to that, Cordero served on the Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners for eight years. Previously, he spent more than 30 years practicing law, with a focus on workers' compensation cases.
