Women in Business: Maryann Roefaro

Q&A with Maryann Roefaro, CEO, Hematology-Oncology Associates of CNY.

* What obstacles have you overcome?

The biggest obstacle I overcame was the death of my mother when I was 14 years old.

* How do you balance your home or personal life and work?

As one

* What is your advice to other women who want to succeed?

Continue to understand who you are and put forth much love and effort in the never-ending journey of the mastery of self. Love what you do, hold yourself and everyone else accountable, work hard, and autograph everything you do with excellence.

* What do you think is the greatest challenge facing women in business in the next five years?

The same challenge facing men. We live and work in an illusion that necessitates high speed and incredible accuracy, precision, and productivity. This yields high stress and a genuine challenge to maintain balance, inner peace, and harmony within our families, our work teams, and ourselves.
