Elaine Fernando, Founder and CEO
Having earned her degree in Economics and a Masters in Finance from Columbia University, Elaine spent 25 years on Wall Street working for international investment banking firms. Traversing the chaotic arena of high finance, travelling extensively for work and running a household of 4, she was able to hone personal and professional organizational skills and absolutely loved it! Elaine is also well versed in planning and executing projects in both a team environment and one-to-one; all the while listening carefully to clients’ needs to both grow and maintain relationships.
Fast forward to deciding on a career change! While discussing how her past vocation would benefit a future venture, a friend suggested pursuing professional organization. Since she loves working with others and finding creative solutions to problems, Elaine jumped at the chance, and Organized Transitions LLC® was born! It is a NJ based company that specializes in organizing homes, businesses and estates; as well as national and worldwide move management.
Now, she can still enjoy travel when working with clients to identify their needs, establish goals, and implement action plans. This provides the ultimate framework for economical and practical solutions that help maintain the positive work results clients seek to accomplish and best of all find … BLISSFUL LIVING!
Our Team at Organized Transitions LLC®
Eileen Bergman, Associate Director & Senior Specialist and Don Bergman, Senior Specialist
Eileen and Don Bergman:
When the dynamic duo of Eileen and Don Bergman joined forces with Organized Transitions LLC, they brought with them a vast skill set and uncompromising work ethic. Their careers in organizing and move management spanned 10 years. 3 of those precious years were spent with Organized Transitions LLC.
Don is now retired – a treasured team member we miss dearly, and Eileen remains always in our hearts.
Although most people say change is good, such was certainly not the case when we lost our dear friend and colleague, Eileen. Known for her sensitive, conscientious and passionate approach to client care, Eileen’s impact on our lives and the lives of clients will ALWAYS be cherished. To say Eileen Bergman led by example is an understatement. So extremely blessed were those of us fortunate enough to have known her. RIP, Eileen Bergman.

Katrina Fernando
She may be the youngest team member at Organized Transitions LLC®; but being daughter to our Founder, Elaine Fernando, she’s been mentored by the best! Katrina’s past experience in clothing retail, childcare, and training as a veterinary technician has prepared her to excel in many different environments. She loves the variation of work – estate auctions and wardrobe organization, just to name a few. When asked what she is most inspired by, she says it’s admiration for her mom’s hard work and determination to build her business and serve clients with care and respect.
Anne Armelino

Anne also enjoys a career in advertising where she has worked on some of the largest advertising campaigns in NJ and nationally!

Sherrie Mannion
Sherrie is a team member well known for being detail oriented and flexible with client needs. As a mother of 3 with a prior career in finance, she is no stranger to the demands of work-life balance. Needless to say, it has prepared her well for the variety of projects that OT® brings to the table. Decluttering is her favorite part of the job because she enjoys the feeling of freedom it imparts to clients when they remove things from their surroundings that no longer serve them. And as if she isn’t busy enough, Sherri also enjoys travel, board games with family, and never met a piece of cake she didn’t like!
Jayne Tsipas
Finance was Jayne’s previous career before she sought change, and we’re glad she did! When she isn’t spending time with family at the NJ shore, Jayne’s giving it her all for OT®! She loves to see a client’s face light up as their newly decluttered space reveals itself as the sanctuary their home should be. She also knows how important it is to make a senior’s space at a new care facility feel just as comfortable and familiar as their previous home. Jayne pays close attention to the details; making sure efficiency and safety in mobility are priorities.
