I was new to the industry and the indirect side, Cynthia displayed a nice balance of guidance and collaboration, allowing us to implement new strategies. Our complementary styles led to a high level of success on several projects, which we was recognized with a Publisher’s award. I thoroughly enjoyed learning from Cynthia and would proudly contribute to any team she leads in the future.”

“I worked for Cynthia while she was at the “Times”. She has got to be one of the hardest working people I know. As a manager she is supportive of all those that work for her. She is always looking to improve and innovate in an effort to create efficiencies for the company and her team. She demands the best but is always fair and will go the extra mile to make things work. She is one of the best mangers I have ever worked for.”
