She exhibits all of the traits of a very successful businessperson and a very strong leader: commitment, vision, unmatched work ethic, intelligence, leadership, technical know-how, ability to adapt, financial skills, a 'get it done attitude' and more," Bizzarro added.  "I could not run this company without a top notch 'second-in-command' and Angela is just that."

Grunte began her career in financial services with Washington Trust Bank and earned her Master's in Business Administration from Eastern Washington University. She has a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration and Management from the University of Hawaii-West Oahu.
