A BRIEF TIMELINEOF CYD’S HISTORY

A look into the past can tell us what to expect in the very near future.

2007 - WOMEN TECH COUNCIL, FOUNDER & PRESIDENT

As a women in tech, Cyd wanted to establish a non-profit whose meaning could be as deep as its impact. She helped found the Women Tech Council in order to amplify the economic impact, provide meaningful opportunities, and expand the talent pipeline for women in tech all around the nation.

2010 - DISNEY IMAGINEERING, HEAD TECHNOLOGY COMMERCIALIZATION

For almost half a decade, Cyd worked with Disney’s Research Labs to determine which of their product innovations could be commercialized, utilized, or implemented. This required a high-level, practical vision combined with some creativity and imagination.

2015 - 3DplusMe, CEO, Chairman of the board, founder

3DplusMe, the 3D printing platform, championed storytelling and delight, allowing fans to immerse themselves in the stories of their favorite movies, comic books, and teams.

2017 - FORGEDX, CEO

Cyd then moved on and took a position at ForgeDX, a company that helped Fortune 500 companies showcase the power of their unique solutions through visual stories. This helped to accelerate relationships, partnerships and improve go-to-market strategies.

2020 - BRANDLESS, CEO

Cyd took a deep dive into Consumer Goods, focusing on a better way to deliver top-quality goods for a fraction of the cost to individuals around the world. She combined her innovative background with her technological foresight and was able to raise millions to take Brandless to a new level of production, scale, and accessibility.

I highly admire Cydni and looked up to her as the COO at FamilyLink.com. Cydni came into the company and mended many weak points while maintaining a relationship with previous staff. She was immediately respected and appreciated as she worked long hours to revive the company. Cydni has a bright energy that fills any room. She has a creative mind and can plan anything from an overall company strategy change, to an office Halloween party. I have been very impressed with her and hope to work along side her in the future.

Cyd has an irreplaceable mix of talents, spanning functional boundaries in a way that few people can. I’ve had the privilege of working with her for eight years, and during that time we’ve occupied a number of pairs of complementary positions on the corporate playing field. We’ve crossed into one another’s turf effectively and without significant conflict. Thanks to that ability, we’ve been able to adapt our roles to the rapidly changing needs that face any startup... She has left an indelible stamp on me.
