Hello! I’m Linda Ressa, a prominent New York-based banking executive and community leader who has served as a board member of the Energia Partnership and The Long Island Builders Institute for over a decade. My accomplished financial career spans over three decades in residential and commercial financing and regional banking leadership. I graduated Suma Cum Laude from St. John’s University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science and MBA in finance.

Recognized as a community champion on Long Island, I was named an honoree at the American Heart Association’s 15th Annual Long Island Go Red Women Luncheon and the American Cancer Society Silver Anniversary Golf Outing for my dedication to raising awareness for women’s cardiac health, local cancer patients and cancer research initiatives. I received these honors for my long-standing fundraising efforts and dedication to several organizations’ philanthropic missions. I was also recognized by the Star Network Power Woman initiative.
