Congratulations to the 2014 Women of FIRE!
Rebecca Berry
Rebecca Berry knew from a young age that she wanted to be an architect. Summer trips to rebuild houses in Appalachia with her family’s church first sparked her interest in architecture, and a design discovery summer at the National Building Museum in the nation’s capitol cemented it.
Donna Boulanger
After becoming CEO of North Brookfield Savings Bank in 2008, one of the first things Donna Boulanger changed was its approach to philanthropy.
Mellisa Carney
High finance and earth-shaking deals may get all the glamour when it comes to press coverage of the industry, but the real glory is owed to people like Mellisa Carney, Homecorps coordinator for the South Shore Community Action Council.
Gerry-Lynn Darcy
She grew up in the planning industry at her father’s knee, absorbing the nuances of architectural plans. Gerry-Lynn Darcy credits the time and effort her father gave her, from an early age, so that planning became part of the fabric of her work-life experience, which now spans 18 years.
Lisa DonFrancesco
Before she knew what it meant to be a businesswoman, Lisa DonFrancesco knew she wanted to be one. Her father, who embodied superior work ethics and integrity throughout his career in insurance and investment sales, became the inspiration for her goals.
Donna Fitzgerald
One day when Pat Villani, president of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in New England, dropped by Donna Fitzgerald’s office in Norwell, she met a couple dropping off two SUVs full of toys for needy children. Villani tried to thank the couple, but they responded, “Donna and this office stepped in and took care of us when we needed it. This is our way of giving back.”
Janet Frazier
As the scope of Maloney Properties’ business areas has grown over three decades, so have Janet Frazier’s responsibilities at the Wellesley-based property management company.
Karen Kelley Gill
Ask her colleagues why Karen Gill is a Woman of FIRE, and they’ll probably tell you she’s a behind-the-scenes financial mastermind, keeping millions of dollars running smoothly and efficiently to nonprofit developers in the Greater Boston area.
Laura Handler
Many people enter the construction and design industries after falling in love with the idea of creating sun-drenched arboreturms and sculpted facades – the glamorous skin of the buildings they work on. Laura Handler, director of design and strategy for Tocci Building Cos., has always been a student of the bones.
Pamela Herbst
Pamela Herbst’s career bridges two worlds – investment and nonprofit. She has more than 25 years of experience in real estate investment acquisitions and asset and portfolio management; in addition, her serves as acting chair of the board of directors for The Home for Little Wanderers, with which she has been involved for seven years.
Cynthia B. Keliher
If you ask Cynthia Keliher the secret to her success, she will credit her parents for the great life she has. From an early age, she was taught to work hard, always be kind and value education. Those lessons have served her well.
Amy Korte
Amy Korte may seem quiet at first – but when she does speak up, “people get quiet and listen,” said Jim Batchelor, president and CEO of Arrowstreet.
Marilyn Sperling
Employees say Marilyn Sperling is committed to maintaining Greylock Federal Credit Union’s culture, which includes putting a high priority on staff satisfaction.
Eleanor White
Growing up on the south side of Chicago in one of the city’s only culturally diverse neighborhoods taught Eleanor White a valuable lesson: the problem of poverty and the need for publicly-assisted housing go hand-in-hand.
Sarah Abrams
Sarah Abrams thought for sure she would be a real estate lawyer, especially as she was making her way through law school at Cornell.
