Finance & Administration
Good Afternoon,

It is with great excitement that I am writing to announce that Jacqueline (Jackie) Castaldo, Director of Business in Finance & Administration (F&A) is the recipient of the FY 22/23 SUNY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Professional Service.

SUNY Chancellor’s Program
The Chancellor's Awards for Excellence are System-level honors conferred to acknowledge and provide recognition for consistently superior professional achievement and to encourage the ongoing pursuit of excellence. Individuals nominated for these awards must meet all prescribed eligibility criteria and must be individuals of achievement, committed to the State University and its students, respected by the campus community and worthy of emulation by colleagues and students on the home campus and across SUNY. Jackie, throughout her tenure at Stony Brook, has demonstrated these characteristics and more.
More About Jackie
Jackie began her Stony Brook career approximately seven years ago in the Office of Procurement, where she was hired as a Business Analyst Lead. After working in Procurement for almost two years, she transitioned into a new role in F&A, serving as a Senior Financial Analyst. In this role, Jackie was responsible for data analytics within the University, developing key metrics to enhance business processes and expanding upon University initiatives.

In 2021, Jackie was promoted to Assistant Director of Finance, a post she held for approximately one year before being appointed to Director of Business Operations for F&A. Today, Jackie’s responsibilities have grown significantly to include oversight of the finances and budget within several University areas including Budget, Financial Planning & Analysis; Enterprise Risk Management; Facilities & Services; Finance; Human Resource Services; Marketing & Communications; and Government & Community Relations. She also works collaboratively to oversee financial matters for the Division of Information Technology (DoIT).

Please join me in congratulating Jackie on this well-deserved achievement.


Sincerely,
Jed Shivers
Senior Vice President
