Diana Fortuna

In 2014, in addition to her CFO position, Fortuna was made deputy general manager.

Fortuna left the Citizen's Budget Commission in February 2008 to join the Metropolitan Opera as its budget director and soon became its Acting Chief Financial Officer. Fortuna said of joining the Met, "As someone who is interested in the performing arts, it seemed like a great opportunity to enter that field with a perspective I know very well, which is budgeting." Fortuna is now the Met's Chief Financial Officer. She said, "I felt very drawn to what the Met is trying to do, which is to keep classical music alive and well and meaningful".

In 2005 New York Common Cause honored Fortuna with the Making Peoples' Voices Heard Award for her work in helping to advance the movement for reform of New York State government. Fortuna sits on the e-Treasury Pennsylvania Advisory Commission.

In 1998, Fortuna became the president of the Citizens Budget Commission, a non-profit watchdog group that monitors the finances and operations of New York City and New York State government. While at the CBC, Fortuna generally advocated controlling New York State spending more and reducing New York State's public debt load. She also supported Mayor Mike Bloomberg's plan to implement congestion pricing in New York City. In analyzing New York's 2007–08 budget, Fortuna wrote, "Albany's ingrained political culture remains highly dysfunctional; the budget process is still too secretive and convoluted, and the state's fiscal practices are still far out of line with those of other states – leaving New Yorkers the nation's most heavily taxed people."

In the early 1980s, Fortuna began her career at New York City's Office of Management and Budget, where she eventually became Deputy Budget Director under Mayor Ed Koch. Beginning in 1990, she served in the New York State Office of Federal Affairs in Washington, D.C., where she analyzed federal policy issues. In 1993, she became a policy aide to the Administrator of the U.S. Health Care Financing Administration, and in 1995, she joined the White House Domestic Policy Council, becoming Associate Director and working on welfare, health, disability and national service issues.
