Executive Director, EMS FDNY Help Fund

In April 2020, I found a way to support those who were on the front lines of fighting the COVID-19 epidemic in New York City. The EMS FDNY Help Fund is relatively new and its mission is to support the Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics that respond to NYC's 911 calls. These Emergency Medical Services are a critical part of the infrastructure of our society - a safety net. I tell people that in a perfect world, you wouldn't need this fund, but the world is not perfect....

I support the Fund with more than twenty years experience as a Digital Pioneer -I launched Unicef's first website along with the New York Stock Exchange's and then ran their digital footprint for over a decade. I am known for serving as a trusted advisor and partner for all stakeholders - team contributors to C-Suite and Board.
