Cynthia has almost two decades of experience in private banking and investments, real estate, event creation and management, public relations, and politics.
She began her career as a trader and private banker for Libano-Francaise Finance (BLF Group) where she worked on opening new markets both in Lebanon and the GCC countries. She put this financial experience to work when she opened Homebook, a private real estate firm. As a real estate executive, she brought a new way of working with clients through a very personalized approach which resulted in closing millions of dollars in real estate transactions.
In 2012 she founded In Action Events which created and managed successful events in Lebanon and other GCC countries including Lebanon’s largest annual Christmas celebration – Christmas In Action. She also developed and executed fundraising events for numerous NGOs as well as partnered with commercial clients to build their brand and increase their client base.
In 2019, as revolution and protests began to grip her home country of Lebanon, she made the commitment to devote her efforts to finding solutions to the complex political, social, and economic issues Lebanon and the region faced which culminated in her establishing CD Global Associates. At the core of what drives her is that the solutions for Lebanon and the challenges facing the world can be solved through greater empowerment of the people, especially women, and through increasing economic opportunities and political activism.
Her involvement as a member of Lebanese League for Women in Business and the Women Leaders Council of Lebanon, is a testament to her commitment to ensuring that women reach their full potential in business and politics in Lebanon.
Cynthia is also active in charity work and NGOs as a board member of ART IN MOTION, event committee member for Children Cancer Center of Lebanon, fundraising committee member of Brave Heart.
She holds a BA in Economics and Commercial Sciences from Université Saint Joseph – USJ, a Master’s in Management and Finance from Ecole Supérieure des Affaires – ESA and received her Corporate Directors Certification from the IFC-World Bank.
As an entrepreneur she always strive to create new concepts where she see business opportunities. Her new venture is a concept store in the heart of Beirut APRIL.
