Experienced commodity portfolio manager and finance professional Sean Kemery served as a senior trader at Deutsche Bank in New York City starting in 2010. Outside of his professional work, Sean Kemery provides charitable support to nonprofit organizations such as Derek Jeter’s Turn 2 Foundation and the Joe Torre Safe at Home Foundation.

Since its founding in 2002, the Safe at Home Foundation has promoted the well being and safety of children who have been exposed to traumatic experiences. In addition to providing supportive services to children who have been the victims of domestic violence and other abuse, the organization operates a multifaceted, school-based program known as Margaret’s Place.

The Margaret’s Place program provides rooms in schools that serve as safe and confidential places for traumatized students to relax, talk, and hang out. The program prioritizes respect and confidentiality, and helps students feel secure so they can better receive integrated and comprehensive healing services.
