Chris J. Duncan

With 10 years of banking experience, I’m passionate about helping small business owners and entrepreneurs achieve their financial goals. I leverage Valley’s robust suite of services and banking tools to deliver tailored solutions for clients with complex banking needs. By understanding each business’s unique challenges, I help owners access the support and guidance they need to thrive at every stage. I am also active in organizations like NRBP, Gateway Chamber of Commerce, and WCEC, and enjoy supporting local businesses and driving positive change in the community.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my wife, Amanda, and our son, Shiloh. I also enjoy volunteering, mentoring young men from urban environments, and cheering on the Yankees, Jets, and Knicks.

Rose Marie Ranuro, MSN, RN, CPNP

I am a certified pediatric nurse practitioner and have dedicated more than 42 years to nursing, specializing in pediatric home health and hospice care, with the past 35 years spent in leadership roles at Valley Home Care. My passion is in providing a safe home for children where parents are comfortable and parents are knowledgeable in care.

In 1991, I was honored to receive the New Jersey Governor's Nursing Merit Award. In 1999, we developed the Butterflies Program, which provides care for children with life-limiting diagnoses. This is the only comprehensive pediatric hospice in New Jersey.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy traveling, spending time at the Jersey Shore, and being with my husband and two sons. My family also proudly owns Biggie's, a restaurant that began in Hoboken.
