In January 2023, Vito Dipierro began serving as council president. Prior to this role, Dipierro served as Ward 1 councilman since November 2013.
The son of Italian immigrants from Bari, Italy, Dipierro grew up in a tight-knit family with three brothers and a sister. He graduated from Normandy High School in 1995. After high school, he worked for a family waterproofing business, as well as Union Camp in Solon, Ohio, as a member of the International Paper Workers Union Local Number 672.
An interest in real estate led him to take courses at Cuyahoga Community College's Western Campus. He earned his real estate license in 2002. Taking after his father, a Parma small-business owner for 40 years, Dipierro started his own brokerage in 2013.
Outside of work, Dipierro is a parishioner at St. Bridget's of Kildare Parish. He is also involved with the Parma Area Chamber of Commerce and the Parma Rotary Club.
He enjoys exploring local parks and spending time with his twin daughters.
