Cindy Y. Email & Phone Number

Cindy Y. is a professional in their field. Colleagues describe them as "Coming to this engagement, the challenges facing Cindy were significant. As the project lead, she had to establish strong cohesion and direction in a team that operated across different cities, with many of the members coming from another school and an existing team. Her client didn't have a clear sense of direction, not only in the client objective (achieving financial sustainability), but also strategically as a whole. Finally, she had to work with all this, while balancing simultaneously with a rigorous work load that comes with pursuing a PhD. During the engagement, Cindy demonstrated several key characteristics critical to consulting. She was very diligent, communicative, and coachable, proactively providing key materials and agenda before meetings for discussion. During these sessions she actively pursued and actioned on feedback and advice. From a team perspective, by proactively identifying challenges, Cindy helped focus and facilitate productive discussions, laying a critical foundation for the team to operate on. This was critical for the team to coalesce around, and Cindy further reinforced this by holding regular one-on-one sessions with all of her team members, and provided coaching and further direction where necessary. At the same time, she helped carve out room for growth for her members, providing opportunities for leadership and ownership where team members wished to take on the additional responsibility. Over the course of my being an advisor, it's been a pleasure to see the simultaneous evolution of client deliverables and the team. These two outputs are the ultimate measure of Cindy's leadership, and in both accounts, she is an absolute superstar." and "I met Cindy when she was my supervising Team Lead Consultant at the University Consulting Group. She is an incredibly driven, considerate, and well-organized leader. Cindy's hard work and excellent management skills allowed our team of six advanced degree candidates to produce a high-quality financial outlook and implementation plan for our client on a tight timeline. Cindy designed and implemented a unique multiple workstream approach to our project that allowed our team to focus our efforts and produce more a more thorough and evidence-based outcome. Cindy’s dedication, talent, and impressive ability to contextualize information made her an excellent leader, colleague, and mentor and I would be happy to work with her again on any project."
