Danny Davis has been named as a deputy county administrator in Loudoun County, effective July 2, according to an April 24 announcement by County Administrator Tim Hemstreet. Davis was selected for the role following a nationwide search and most recently served as the town manager of Middleburg.
The appointment is significant because the deputy county administrator helps oversee day-to-day operations of Loudoun County departments and agencies that report directly to the Board of Supervisors. This position plays a key part in managing services that affect residents throughout the county.
Davis brings over twenty years of leadership experience from both public and private sectors. His career began with various roles within Loudoun County government, including legislative aide to a Board of Supervisors member, senior project manager, and chief of staff in the Office of the County Administrator. He later served as president and executive director at Tribute at One Loudoun Assisted Living and Memory Care before becoming assistant town manager in Purcellville from 2015 to 2017, then Middleburg’s town manager starting in 2018.
“We had a very competitive pool of highly qualified applicants for this important position within County Administration and Mr. Davis’ extensive experience in local government, including his previous service with Loudoun County, makes him an outstanding candidate to take on this role,” said Hemstreet. “I’m confident his experiences in Loudoun along with many stakeholders in our region will be an asset to our organization.”
Davis holds a bachelor’s degree in public policy from Patrick Henry College and a master’s degree in public administration from George Mason University. He has lived in Loudoun County since 2000 and has participated actively in community activities during that time.
He is also recognized as a Credentialed Manager by the International City/County Management Association—a designation awarded only after meeting educational requirements, having significant senior management experience, and demonstrating ongoing commitment to professional development.
The Office of the County Administrator serves as both the highest-level management office for county government operations and as liaison between the Board of Supervisors, constitutional officers, judiciary, state agencies, and regional bodies.
