Colleagues describe them as "Cynthia was OnDeck's first Head of Risk and really guided OnDeck thru some critical milestones - including our first securitization, countless funding facilities, and eventually guiding our Risk team thru the process of getting us ready to go public. During her time as the leader of the Risk team she grew the team by 5x and added a number of new functions to the group. Her team was talented, engaged, and productive - which is largely credited to Cynthia's leadership. Cynthia was an excellent thought partner for myself as the Head of Operations. She is a very talented executive and someone that I hope I get the chance to work with again some day. " and "It was enjoyable to work with Cynthia as she headed LendingHome's risk management group in 2016 and 2017. She truly took us from "zero to one" and beyond, as there was very little centralized risk team and infrastructure upon her arrival. During her tenure she built a risk management function from the ground up, shaped our quantitative credit infrastructure, formalized the board risk committee processes, leveled up the analytical nature of groups like servicing, and oversaw the creation of next-generation credit models. Cynthia was also a key collaborator on various corporate initiatives where risk management was an important competency to external partners and investors. She works hard, gives direct feedback, holds a high performance bar, and can think critically across the business. In summary, Cynthia is a smart, capable, and experienced risk leader."
