Her experience includes: senior business analyst for GE Capital Services; executive vice president of Customer Operations for GE Capital Railcar Services and later chief financial officer for the unit; and senior vice president of Insurance Products for GE Financial Assurance, which led to her career with Genworth. <br /><br />The June 2008 issue of CFO Magazine listed Marcia as number five on their list of 25 Women to Watch, the magazine's "pipeline of women poised to become Fortune 500 CFOs."
