Corporate executive, human capital strategist, author, and executive coach. Working from the time she was 14, her leadership journey began early.

Navigating a career as a chief executive in gaming, hospitality, and healthcare, while raising two children and pursuing advanced degrees, Cynthia has experienced the joys and challenges of trying to “have it all.” With deep appreciation for those who shined a light for her, and as a social psychologist with a passion for unleashing human potential, she feels a personal responsibility to help women claim their agency and amplify their possibilities.
