Cindy Mahoney Email & Phone Number

My love of computers started with the Apple IIe when my Dad signed me up for computer classes in 1982. By the following year I was teaching my fellow elementary school students how to "program". I could make the computer draw a star with a turtle using Apple LOGO!Computers come easily to me and always have been a hobby. A Political Science and Spanish major, I worked as the department assistant in the Computer Services office in college. My job was to rotate the backup tapes among three fireproof (and dark and frightening) basements on campus. I drove a beat-up college van around and unloaded the backup tapes, wearing them like bangle bracelets so I could carry them, switched them out, and loaded them again before moving onto the next stop on my route.I started my first job three days after graduation as a recruiter of undergraduate and graduate international students for Arthur Andersen and Andersen Consulting. A year later, thanks to a chance overheard conversation in the office cafeteria with an amazing Dickinson alumna who happened to be the Director of IT, my dream opportunity came along and I moved into the Information Services Management department at Arthur Andersen as a technology deployment consultant. That was the official launch of my IT career. I grew to become manager of the deployment and application development teams. Then came the devastating end of Arthur Andersen, a workplace I called home, and colleagues I still call family.I landed at Arnold & Porter as Application Development Supervisor, beginning my twenty-year (and counting) career in Legal Technology. I relocated from the Washington, DC area to New York City as Associate Director of IT at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, focusing on building the Project Management Office.After managing Cadwalader's project to transform the document management system to a new platform and implementing Matter-Centricity, I knew I wanted to keep working with iManage and designing business processes around ECM. I knew I’d become more well-rounded by gaining some consulting experience. I joined Micro Strategies as a Solutions Architect working with law firms and legal departments in insurance, utilities and pharma. I became a Certified iManage Engineer and developed deep skills in the iManage technologies, SQL and Windows Server Administration.I joined Ropes & Gray 2010 as a Senior Systems Administrator and progressed to my position today, Director of Enterprise Applications where I remain hands-on technical while managing and working with a top-caliber team at a place I love to work.
