Claudia Jolin
Executive Director, Baltimore Peninsula Partnership
Claudia Jolin is the Executive Director of the newly formed Baltimore Peninsula
Partnership. She is responsible for elevating Baltimore Peninsula by providing unique
experiences and programming in a safe and well-maintained district. Claudia is also a
Baltimore City Planning Commissioner. She is responsible for preparing and updating
plans for the physical development of the city, to include the capital budget. Previously,

(DPOB) – the largest economic engine in the city, Claudia Jolin’s role is vital to the
success of Baltimore’s Central Business District, Baltimore City, and the greater state of
Maryland. She leads research-driven initiatives that foster development and track
Downtown’s economic success, and she does so with passion, flair, and authenticity.
Jolin is energized by the reimagining of Downtown – even stepping in as the interim
Executive Director for the Bromo Arts & Entertainment District to oversee its rebirth in
2018. She was instrumental in hiring a new Executive Director to helm the
neighborhood’s programming. The data she mines and the insights she provides fuel
the nationally-recognized Downtown BOOST Program. Prior to her role at DPOB, she
was the Special Assistant in Economic Development in the Baltimore Mayor’s Office
and a Mayoral Fellow with the class of 2014, working with Baltimore Development
Corporation’s research team.

Hawaii. Jolin has experience at the U.S. Department of State, working in the Office of
East Asian and Pacific Affairs, Public Relations Office. She is a veteran of the United
States Navy where she worked for the National Security Agency in data interpretation.
