She was NOT CFO but she was the Senior Finance Director.
Finance directors are members of a senior executive team with responsibility for their company’s financial health. They combine operational and strategic roles, manage accounting and financial control functions, and establish a financial strategy for the profitable long-term growth of the business. Finance directors also support and develop strategy to guide key business initiatives, according to Ernst & Young. To fulfill this dual role, they must have the versatility and talent to meet a continually changing set of circumstances.
She was responsible for the company's financial health along with the CFO.
The facts are that Russo was Senior Director of Finance at Rosetta Genomics when the company filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and liquidated their assets.
Is this person qualified to be a CFO of a public company that is already financially distressed - the answer is absolutely not.
The 8-K seemed to have left out this important piece of information.
I found that the company that OWCP was bragging about had liquidated their assets - Russo was a very poor choice as the new CFO.
