About Me:
Prior to my current role as CFO & Treasurer of Battery Park City Authority in NYC, I leadership roles in investment and commercial banking including M&A, Project Finance, Commercial Lending and Fixed Income Derivative Sales & Structuring for over 25 years. I also spent time in Finance at Procter & Gamble where my responsibilities included both credit & accounting as well as logistics & warehouse management.
It is the range of my finance and operational experiences that framed the skillset used in my current role where my responsibilities span all financial operations, from accounts receivables & payables to investment & debt management.
On being a Black woman in this industry:
Public Finance provides valuable contributions to the growth and development of this nation. The opportunity to impact our states and municipalities is a wonderful career opportunity that should be available to all that form the fabric of our society. Being a representative of the diaspora that is my community, it is important to be a role model and to partner with all of my colleagues to ensure that others that follow have a pathway to opportunities to establish themselves as leaders in the Public Finance market.
Fun fact:
I was an elected official in the Town of Greenwich, CT where I served on our town counsel (the RTM) and led the Finance Committee for several years. I am currently a Member of the Board of the Town of Greenwich Retirement Fund, where we have oversight to manage approximately $600 million in pension assets. This along with the $700 million in investment assets of Battery Park City Authority puts me in a position of oversight for $1.3 billion in fixed income and multi-asset investments. This is what I consider fun, but I also read at least a book a month and am currently reading the Neapolitan novels series by Elena Ferrante.
Favorite advice:
Be the champion of your own destiny and really take stock of the things most important to you in your life and the things that you truly enjoy. Be active in creating your own opportunities through networking, both within your organization and in professional and community organizations. Let your interests guide your career choices and personal pursuits.
