On Thursday, August 15, 2019, the interns of the Cross Cultural Internship Program (CCIP, www.fusia.net) gathered in the conference room of Flushing YMCA, to attend a presentation by Mr. Mark Ricca, who has expertise in finance, law and management.
Throughout Mr. Ricca's career, he stressed on core values which include high ethics, high expertise, results, teamwork and fun.
Mr. Ricca was most recently the President and CEO of the Municipal Credit Union, and before that Mark served as President and CEO of First American International Bank and as CFO and Chief Administrative Officer of Carver Federal Saving Bank. Mark has extensive experience developing and leading corporate strategic direction, personnel development and community contributions in New York City, including NY’s Chinese-American community.
The students who participated held great interest in finance and banking sectors, career development and personal development. Mark was kind enough to answer all the questions and also helped each student build interest, understanding, and confidence about the financial market.
Emily who studies at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology commented, "It is my pleasure to listen to Mark's talk. At first, I expected him to be a conservative and introverted person. Unexpectedly, he is an enthusiastic and lively man. In his speech, I can feel his endless passion towards his career. He is a great mentor. "
