Paula Fasseas is the Vice Chairman of the Metropolitan Bank Group, which she co-founded with her husband 31 years ago. In 1997, Fasseas founded PAWS Chicago, (Pets Are Worth Saving), the city’s largest non-profit, humane organization focused on making Chicago a “No Kill” city, where pets are not destroyed just because they are homeless.In 2000 PAWS Chicago opened The Lurie Clinic, a free spay/neuter clinic for pets of low income families. The clinic is located in inner city Chicago where the highest number of stray and unwanted pets originate, and through its spay/neuter efforts the clinic has greatly reduced the number of homeless pets needlessly killed in Chicago.

In September 2007 Fasseas opened the PAWS Chicago Adoption & Humane Center, the first cageless, No Kill shelter of its kind in the Midwest, revolutionizing the way homeless animals are sheltered. Recently, Oprah toured and featured the Adoption & Humane Center on her talk show and on the cover of O Magazine’s June issue.

Fasseas’ business experience and MBA from the University of Chicago have greatly contributed to her success in both the business and non-profit areas. Fasseas has positioned PAWS Chicago to become a national, life-saving model. She was recently named Chicagoan of the Year by Chicago Magazine for her achievements through PAWS Chicago.
