“Cindy Class is that rare confluence of contrasts that characterizes the best senior executives I have met in my 30 year career. She is a strategic thinker, with telescopic vision and an ability to predict and foretell trends that will surprise you. At the same time, she is a detail-oriented tactical executor with microscopic vision who gets things done right. She is a wonderfully facile connector with people who is warm, affectionate and caring in building relationships. At the same time, she finds a way to focus on the task at hand, and firmly guide people towards the desired destination. She is an articulate and fluent communicator who is never at a loss for words to influence and persuade varying constituencies. At the same time, she is a reflective and attentive listener who actively affirms and confirms what she is hearing, and draws people into conversations. She is a general athlete who can plug and play in multiple roles and environments, with broad, portable skill sets. At the same time, she can quickly and effortlessly become a subject matter expert in topics that need deeper familiarity. She is a driven and ambitious leader with high aspirations in terms of her professional trajectory and accomplishments. At the same time, she is a humble servant leader who can lead from the middle, and who doesn’t wear her rank on her sleeve. She is relentlessly focused on breakthrough outcomes, and holds herself personally accountable for delivering them. At the same time, she ensures that the process and mission are the right ones, and that all stakeholders are on board with the “why” and the “how” of what she is doing. In summary, my belief is that Cindy is an amazingly talented leader with many of the skills and qualities that I have seen in outstanding C-suite executives. ”
