Yet another new job for Nutter

Another day, another gig for Michael Nutter.

The former Philadelphia mayor will serve as a senior fellow for What Works Cities, a Michael Bloomberg-funded, data-driven, philanthropic program aimed at making government more effective and increasing community engagement. Nutter will advise mayors around the country and serve as the program's national spokesman.

It's the latest in a string of jobs Nutter has taken in the month since he's left City Hall. He has also will work as a CNN commentator, an urban policy professor at New York's Columbia University and a U.S. Department of Homeland Security adviser.

What Works Cities, launched in April 2015, will help 100 mid-sized cities over three years boost their data use to improve government decision-making.

During his eight-year tenure, Nutter launched PhillyStat, Philadelphia's performance management system; established the city's open data policy in 2012; and last year spearheaded the redesign of OpenDataPhilly, the city's open-data portal that increases public access to data including crime, property assessments and campaign finance. He also oversaw the implementation of a new Philly 311 citizen-service system.

Also named a senior fellow this year: Former New York City Chief Analytics Officer Mike Flowers, who will hold workshops with city leaders and oversee efforts to improve analytics in participating cities.

"Michael Nutter and Mike Flowers both have great track records using data and evidence in creative ways to improve people's lives in cities," Bloomberg, the billionaire former mayor New York City, said in a statement. "The wisdom they bring to the table from their work in Philadelphia and New York will be a valuable asset for everyone participating in What Works Cities."
