What are people saying about me
Testimonials
Cynthia’s leadership/commitment through various C-suite changeovers was impressive.
In my work, I leaned on Cynthia to support partner-sponsored events for our partner ecosystem. Additionally, Cynthia provided great thought-partnership for our organizational-defining strategy sessions. I couldn’t imagine anyone else to navigate the global/organizational challenges with, in 2020. I appreciate that she was always “member-first”.
I had the pleasure of having Cyn as my manager at /dev/color.
She actively supported me and my team and was really adept at adjusting her managing style to uniquely support each one of us. Not only was she super thoughtful and caring when tackling company challenges, but also kept my personal development as a top priority. I admire her ability to not only highlight the strengths of those around her, but also provide opportunities for folks to grow in their roles. I am so fortunate to have had such a strong, supportive, insightful manager and anyone on her team will be successful!
Cynthia’s power lies in her natural ability to transform lay people into leaders.
On our team, Cynthia identified seeming disparate skills and abilities and then worked with us to understand our true professional potential. Regardless of perceived abilities or technical expertise, Cynthia was able to see raw, undeveloped talent and create access to different tools, ways of thinking, challenging opportunities, and concrete experiences.
Fueled by her ability to imbue trust and empowerment, Cynthia fostered our team to be autonomous yet collaborative, passionate yet professional, and, through iteration and reflection, always working towards a better process.
In a large organization with many moving parts, it can be easy to feel overlooked or that the impact you have on a space has gone unnoticed. Not so with Cynthia; she saw us, our value, and where we fit into the larger picture. Cynthia made a seat for everyone at the table and, if there wasn’t one, she built you a chair.
Before Cynthia’s leadership, I was unfocused, someone with good customer service skills, the ability to multitask, and good at finding needles in haystacks. After working under Cynthia, I have a legitimate identity in the workforce, an understanding of my passions and abilities, confidence in my strengths coupled with an awareness of where I need to grow.
Cynthia’s experience and knowledge about project, change and team management was essential in our CRM Salesforce implementation project.
I am grateful I had Cynthia as my partner in this project, and could not have made the system improvements and changes happen without her. Cynthia is a competent and compassionate manager and mentor. She is supportive of her team’s needs as well as balancing the needs of the Organization. In addition, her ability to “manage up” helped significantly in keeping the CRM Salesforce implementation on track. Without her, the JCCSF would not be where it is today with its adoption of new technology and innovative solutions.
Cynthia is an amazing manager and team member.
She has diligently managed her team through ups and downs and was instrumental in the successful deployment of our CRM (salesforce). She is skillful when it comes to project management. She is able to manage deadlines, resources (employees and vendors) and is able to build strong relationships throughout the organization that allowed her to be successful. Cynthia will be an incredible addition to any team looking for strong and dedicated leadership
Cynthia is one of the brightest, hardest working, and deeply thoughtful people at the JCCSF.
She embodies the values of our institution as a principled, curious, compassionate, and creative person. I particularly admire her integrity–professional and personal– and have, over the years, tried to learn a variety of management techniques from her since I consider her a first-rate manager and an excellent colleague.
Cynthia is such a kind, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and engaging human being! I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.
She has a great way of explaining things and of helping you see the bigger picture, that you really get the feeling that you are partaking in something special — whatever the project may be, everything has a fun and creative twist. And most importantly, Cynthia offers such great guidance and insight, that before you know it, you’re mastering a new program or software, without even realizing it. Working with Cynthia was a really wonderful experience for me and I always look back on the time with great memories and feel so lucky to have gotten to know her. She is incredibly intelligent and charismatic.
