Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin has named Diana Bolden as chief financial officer.

Bolden has worked for the city since 2014 and takes over for retiring CFO Kevin Moore.

Bolden has served as principal accountant, manager of budget management and deputy director of the city’s Department of Finance.

She recently moved into the role of acting chief financial officer.

She earned a bachelor of arts degree from Talladega College and a master of business administration degree from Virginia College.

She is a member of Government Finance Officers Association and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

As Chief Financial Officer, Bolden’s duties include oversight of budget preparation and administration, grants administration, investments, insurance and risk management, accounting, auditing; and the collection of taxes, licenses and other revenues.

She takes over the department during a time of turmoil.

Birmingham is still using last year’s $554 million budget after months-long cyberattack derailed budget process.

The City of Birmingham’s computer systems were down for roughly two months, forcing the city to keep its budget manually since computers used for the finance department were not operational.

“On March 6, 2024, the City of Birmingham observed unexpected activity within our network that disrupted the operability of certain computer systems, including those used by the Finance Department to administer our budget,” Moore told the City Council on May 14.
