Rosemarie brings her skills and experience as an executive in commercial and not-for-profit enterprises, as well as those as a Board of Director member of mission-driven, not-for-profit organizations. Her goals as a volunteer are consistent with those of Learning Ally: to develop skills, confidence and capabilities of every child so each can embrace learning and participate productively and happily in their communities, large and small.

Professionally, Rosemarie held institutional client-advisory and management roles at The Bankers Trust Company and at The First National Bank of Chicago. As International Treasurer for MBNA she secured global funding during its rapid international expansion, while working with non-U.S. central banks to change bank capital requirements for asset-backed securities holdings. As Treasurer of International Paper Company, she retooled and strengthened its capital structure after a period of multiple acquisitions. At CA Technologies she served as part of leadership that brought about the company's emergence from deferred prosecution status.

Fulfilling an early personal goal, Rosemarie then brought her skills to the not-for-profit segments. She inaugurated the role of Vice President, Finance and Treasurer at New York University to develop and execute its global network university finance strategy. She was recruited as the Chief Administrative & Financial Officer of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and led its financial turnaround. 

Rosemarie has served on several not-for-profit boards including Centerlight Health Systems, The Pearl Theater Company, and The Feminist Press of the City University of New York and Big Picture Learning.  For her church, she has served as Chair - Parish Pastoral Council and as a member of its Finance Council. She has been a patient-facing volunteer at Memorial (Sloan Kettering) Hospital. Rosemarie holds a Bachelor of Science degree in foreign service from Georgetown University, a Master of Arts degree in economics from Boston College, and a Master of Business Administration in finance and international business from Columbia University.
