1. Rita P.M. Bonnici-Borsellino
Accomplishments & Responsibilities
My Story
I started my journey several years ago in the restaurant and bar industry (owner, operator and direct service). I
was offered an accounts receivable position through a regular customer at the restaurant with a privately held
manufacturer of Safety products. 18 years later I had obtained my Masters degree from Northwestern University
and moved up to Director of Finance / HR, and then acting CEO after the Company was sold. I stayed on to
manage the operations transfer, however I did not want to relocate to Rhode Island, France, or Platteville, WI so I
declined and accepted 2 years of severance to find my way. I have since then worked in aluminum die casting, as a
Mortgage Banker, and my last position as Director of Finance in long term care. I once again find myself looking
for another opportunity.
What I bring to the table
I offer a diverse array of experience, learning from the bottom up, including; finance, accounting, human
resources, information technology, customer service, marketing, sales and executive management in
manufacturing, healthcare, consulting and hospitality industries. My focus and willingness to learn and take on
new projects and responsibilities enables me to be the “go to” person. I am by nature a creative problem solver,
always looking for a better way to do things. I am a results and detail oriented individual with proven abilities in
project management and completing multiple and diverse projects to meet deadlines. I operate and manage
people as I would be managed, through mentoring, encouragement and supporting a creative, collaborative and
open-minded attitude. I develop and build relationships providing positive internal and external results.
What I am looking for
The ability to use my skills, talent and personality in a growing organization that values their employees by offering
internal and external growth with an out of the box mentality. A small business that needs an individual who is
able wear many hats realizing immediate ROI on my total compensation.
