Chief Operating Officer

My experience with Ruotolo has been phenomenal. When I signed a contract with Ruotolo, I figured I would get competence and experience. When the pandemic hit, I realized that I had much more. Ruotolo has given me their competence, experience, compassion, a listening ear, and perspective. I could not ask for more during a challenging yet successful year.
