Marissa Esposito
Vice President and HR DirectorThough she officially joined Esposito’s in a full-time capacity in 2010, Marissa has been involved in the family-owned business ever since she can remember – from sitting in her car seat on top of the dryer in her family’s laundry room, where her father made phone calls and worked on bids when he first launched the business, to working in the office through middle and high school doing data entry and other administrative tasks.
Today, Marissa manages an ever-changing array of office-related activities, customer communication and satisfaction initiatives, and marketing, promotional, and incentive programs, as well as employee events. Marissa is a graduate of Temple University with a degree in Graphic and Interactive Design and holds a Master’s in Human Resources Management from Villanova University. She also earned a post-baccalaureate degree in Marketing from Ramapo College and a Small Business Certificate from Ocean County College. An active leader in the industry, Marissa serves on the board of directors for NJ-IEC and is the Northeast Regional Director for IEC National. She is also a member of the NJ chapter of the American Marketing Association (AMA) and the Associated Builders and Contractors of New Jersey (ABC-NJ).
“Growing up with an entrepreneurial father has taught me how to work hard and be passionate about what I do,” shares Marissa, who adds that one of her favorite aspects of the job is the opportunity to work with both her father and her brother, Mike, as well as to interact with their 'extended family' of loyal and dedicated employees. “In an industry where businesses come and go overnight, we’re proud to be a family-owned and operated business with over 40 years under our belt,” she says.
