Boston, MA - April 23, 2025 - Auctus Fund Management and the Lou Posner Scholarship Committee are pleased to announce Lisa C. Levine as the 2025 Lou Posner Scholarship recipient. Lisa is pursuing dual graduate degrees—a PhD in Public Affairs and an MBA—at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). She was selected for her exceptional academic achievements, commitment to public service, and insightful essay that impressed the selection panel with its depth and relevance to today’s financial leadership landscape.
In her essay, Lisa described the modern finance manager as a “multifaceted leader” essential to organizational success. She emphasized the importance of reputation, ethics, transparency, and strategic insight, noting that today’s finance professionals must go beyond managing budgets and compliance and be visionaries. “Understanding ways to reduce costs while increasing profit is a traditional role,” she wrote, “but more importantly, they should also be able to offer analysis and ideas on growth and market capitalization, as well as risk reduction and debt strategy.”
Lisa also highlighted the growing trend of finance managers rising to executive leadership roles, including the C-suite and philanthropic leadership positions, underscoring their central role in shaping corporate and social outcomes.
