With decades of both financial and board experience, I could be useful to the CPF Board. My first career was as a risk executive at a major investment bank, where I served for 17 years on the Global Credit Risk Committee in addition to serving on various industry-wide risk management committees. Since retiring from Wall Street, I have served in two CFO roles, including at the Diocese of Newark since 2017. Outside of work, I was Board President at a top NJ private school for 18 years and spent the last 7 years on the board of Stevens Tech, where I am Audit chair and Investment vice-chair. I was also Warden of my church and have served 25 years on its investment committee. Through these experiences I have refined my finance, risk, audit and investment expertise while studiously observing and practicing board participation and leadership skills. I believe that my professional skills combined with my love of the Episcopal church and desire to contribute would be an asset to CPF.
