Our Team

Pete Metz serves as Vice President of Civic Strategy & Policy at the Cincinnati Regional Chamber, where he leads the organization’s external strategy at the intersection of business, civic, and public leadership. He oversees the Chamber’s Government Affairs & Advocacy team, the Center for Research & Data, and the Chamber Foundation, aligning these efforts to advance regional priorities like transportation, housing, infrastructure, and economic development.

For nearly a decade, Metz has helped spearhead the business community’s leadership on transportation, successfully advocating for local, state, and federal policies that have delivered hundreds of millions of dollars for projects such as the Brent Spence Bridge, Western Hills Viaduct, record transit funding, and the CROWN trail network. He also served as a senior advisor to the landmark Move Forward campaign, Hamilton County’s first successful transportation levy.

Metz previously worked as Chief of Staff to Cincinnati Vice Mayor David Mann and in Washington, D.C., on federal transportation and energy policy. He lives in Clifton with his wife, Becca, and their two daughters.
