Before Cindy’s entrepreneurial spirit took her out of the corporate arena, she held leadership positions in Human Resource Management in the technology sector. Drawing from her passion for developing the full potential in others and her success as an internal corporate partner and advisor, Cindy established her own Coaching and Leadership Development business in 1986.

Cindy was recognized as one of Boston’s Top Ten Coaches by Women’s Business Boston, she has been a contributor to national trade and business journals.

A lifelong New Englander, Cindy has two sons and lives in suburban Boston with her husband. She believes “when we stop learning, we stop living.”

Cindy worked with our leadership team to help us navigate some challenging situations during a period of rapid growth. She created a safe space for conversations in which everyone felt heard, valued and respected, where we were able to express and hear hard things and were able to come to truly understand each other’s point of view. As a result, we became adept at co-creating the best possible solutions so that we could move forward with our work.

Cindy’s ability to quickly understand our culture, and her vast experience and varied tool box, allowed her to adapt in the moment, remain calm and focused and see us through to win-win decisions we could not otherwise have made.
