Paul Mutone is new vice president for finance and operations

Paul Mutone, who has 19 years experience in business and finance in higher education, comes to Trinity from Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York, where he has been vice president for business and financial affairs since 2005. In that capacity, he was responsible for the college’s operating and capital budgets, human resources, student financial services, purchasing, payroll, legal affairs, and other finance-related activities.
“Paul brings a remarkable skill set and personality that should stand him in good stead as a senior line officer here at Trinity,” says President Jones. In his welcoming message, Jones thanked Paul E. Raether ’68, P’93, ’96, ’01, chair of the Board of Trustees; Trustees Alexander P. Lynch P’03, ’04, ’07 and Mitchell M. Merin ’75; and Scott W. Reynolds ’63, P’92, secretary of the College, for their invaluable assistance in the search and selection process. He also acknowledged the work of the search committee for this position and other members of the community who aided in the search process.

Prior to his employment at Marist, Mutone was associate vice president and controller at Vassar College, also in Poughkeepsie. He rose to that post in 2002 after serving for 13 years as controller at Vassar. In those positions, Mutone played a major role in budget planning and development. He also restructured employee benefits, chaired the school’s Defined Benefit Pension Committee, oversaw purchasing and central receiving, and was responsible for payroll and accounting related to accounts payable, budget control, gift records, and deferred giving. He received his bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1985 from Pace University in Pleasantville, New York.
