Aside from Bank of America, no financial institution has more local deposits in Central Mass. than Middlesex Savings Bank, with $3.1 billion and 30 branches. Sullivan works with private Massachusetts businesses and nonprofits, finding creative financing solutions for their capital needs.

She goes beyond the typical financial services because of her unique knowledge of development resources and incentives, along with an extensive list of professional contacts, which she has honed through roles on very powerful development organizations in Massachusetts, such as MassEcon, MassDevelopment, the Massachusetts Office of Business Development, the Worcester Business Development Corp., the Westborough Economic Development Committee, the MetroWest Chamber of Commerce and the 495/MetroWest Partnership.

What makes Central Mass. unique? The region is centrally located with easy access to Boston, Worcester and Providence. The communities benefit from diverse industry sectors, higher education and healthcare institutions. Within the region, there are mountains, lakes and natural destinations to explore and enjoy. As a result of these attributes and the active community engagement they foster, Central Mass. is a wonderful place to call home.

Sugar plum fairies: My sisters and I danced in “The Nutcracker” every Christmas when I was growing up. I know the music by heart and still get nervous when I hear it, anticipating my cues to be on stage.
