Marcos Rodríguez-Ema, an attorney, was Chief of Staff to Puerto Rico Governor Luis Fortuño.[1]
Rodríguez-Ema served as President of the Puerto Rico Government Development Bank during pro-statehood Governor Pedro Rosselló's administration, from 1993 to 1998. He headed the government's privatization efforts at the time and also founded the Puerto Rico Museum of Art, one of the top two art museums in Puerto Rico.
During the 2008 campaign, he was an advisor to Fortuño, served as Executive Director of a blue-ribbon citizens group chaired by Banco Popular de Puerto Rico Chairman of the Board Richard Carrión during the transition that uncovered a $3.2 billion deficit left by the prior administration [citation needed], but remained in the private sector once the new Governor was sworn in.
On December 2010, Rodríguez-Ema stated that he would kick out the students protesting in the University of Puerto Rico. He has not apologized for his expressions.[2]
