I was working as a Software Engineer (Android OS) on a project led by Cynthia; the goal of the project was to create a new Digital Bank and Cynthia was acting as Head of Product, being the main Person responsible for the project's success. We started from "blank page" and thanks to Cynthia's amazing management skills and outstanding knowledge of the industry, we managed to successfully build the bank within the scheduled time and push it to a wide audience in one of the most competitive Asian markets. I must honestly say that I was truly amazed at how Cynthia managed to drive this project. She was managing not only the mobile app team (which I was a member of) but literally all the teams across the project (product management, UI/UX, product development and QA, including 3rd party suppliers), being the most important decison-maker in the project. Even though She had such broad responsibility, She always knew every little detail of the project, always being able to answer every question and remove any obstacle. Moreover, while She was always 100% professional, it should be particularly appreciated that She is also just a truly warm Person, always having time to make people smile and maintaining an atmosphere that is both friendly and really highly motivating. It's a rare skill for a Manager to be 100% dedicated to achieving the best results, while also taking care of her team members' feelings - and it seems natural for Cynthia to act like that. To sum up, She was always fully committed to the main goal of the project while also inspiring the team to work as one big family - and this unique mix of Cynthia's professional and social skills made working with Her a pleasure. I definitely recommend Cynthia for any role that requires managerial skills connected with an outstanding level of knowledge and professional experience. If you are looking for someone that could safely and timely drive you through the journey of building a new Digital Bank, it would be your best idea to ask Cynthia to lead your team.

We have been working together for over a year. I was a technical leader of a GFT team delivering digital banking solution under Cynthia's product ownership. Simply speaking our cooperation was great. It's never easy to manage the product of this size, developed by dozens of engineers spread across the world in different time zones. Cynthia successfully managed to do this, introducing calm, peaceful atmosphere. All engineers loved to work with her as on the one hand she had a great understanding of the banking business and on the other hand she had very good understanding of the software development process and at the same time understood technical language full of buzzwords used by developers on daily basis. She's very well organized person, none of our teams questions were left unanswered and I can assure that there were hundreds of them. I really enjoyed our cooperation and I'm really looking forward to meet Cynthia again to build something that would at least as challenging and exciting as the Malaysian Rize Bank. If you search for a competent and reliable person, able to become a pillar of your project or even organization congratulations, you've found one.
