<\/p>\n
A results-driven team builder and creative leader with extensive experience working in private and public higher education, Barry Harte has been appointed as Marymount University\u2019s next Vice President for Finance and Operations & Treasurer.<\/p>\n
Starting this December, Harte will serve as an entrepreneurial financial steward and collaborative leader who guides a broad portfolio of units crucial to the operations of the mission-driven University. He replaces Al Diaz, who is retiring after holding the position since June 2014.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs Marymount continues to make remarkable progress with our Strategic Plan goals<\/a> despite the ongoing pandemic, we look forward to Barry coming on board and using his expertise to lead us to future financial success and a sustainable future,\u201d said Dr. Irma Becerra, President of Marymount University. \u201cHis strong track record in financial administration and remarkable achievements at numerous institutions of higher education make him a perfect fit for our senior administrative team.\u201d<\/p>\n In this position, Harte will oversee the operations of financial affairs, human resources, facilities, information technology, public safety, transportation and auxiliary services. While doing so, he will lead University efforts to ensure financial stability, create new revenue streams, build partnerships, improve processes and procedures, champion issues of diversity, equity and inclusion and support Marymount as the higher education landscape evolves due to COVID-19.<\/p>\n \u201cI was first drawn to Marymount by the University\u2019s commitment to a values-based education, framed by diverse and extraordinarily talented faculty and students,\u201d Harte explained. \u201cI was also completely pulled in by the energy and vision of Dr. Becerra. Her passion for the promise of Marymount and focus on the student experience and performance outcomes is amazing, and helps prepare students for careers and lives of purpose. Collaborating with her outstanding leadership team to drive innovative partnerships that facilitate scholarship opportunities and raise Marymount\u2019s profile is a career dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n
