Mr. Burruano is employed in First Niagara General Counsel Office. As the Managing Director, I work closely with Sam on numerous compliance related projects as well as day to day compliance and legal activities. Sam is a dedicated and insightful attorney with a superb work ethic. Sam gives excellen...t consul to the business and the compliance functions readily identifying and offering solutions to risks. Sam does not extend problems, he works diligently to find viable solutions. He works well with all levels of management and possesses excellent executive presence. Sam is often relied on to tackle complex projects and provide leadership to integrated teams made up of legal, compliance and business unit teams. All parties respond to Sam’s excellent leadership style. It is without any reservation that I highly recommend Sam Burruano.
