Included as one of the many services unique to the site is something we call the “Business Fairy Godmother.  That’s Cindy!

While the wishes, as you can imagine, run the gambit from personal to business [when she offers to “tell me your wish,” she never knows what they will say!] most frequently, she connects to entrepreneurs and other achievers with both business and/or charitable organizations and resources that have enabled them to achieve what is important to them. What wish can she grant for you today?

When she is not granting wishes, Cindy builds and runs her businesses and offers Essential Solutions to entrepreneurs via the Achieve Beyond website, The essential solutions Cindy provides include business and personal insurance, and risk management, wealth preservation, business profit recovery, and lending.

Prior to founding Loyalty Alliance in 2003, Cindy held key positions in merchant banking, merger arbitrage, venture capital, investment banking, and wealth advisory services at numerous prestigious financial institutions.

Cindy holds the following professional designations and advanced academic credentials: Certified Wealth Preservation Planner; Certified Financial Planner™; Trusts & Estates Practitioner; Chartered Financial Consultant; Registered Employee Benefits Consultant; Chartered Life Underwriter; Certified in Long Term Care; Registered Health Underwriter; BA in History and MA in Social Studies from the University at Albany; and MBA-Finance from the NYU Stern School of Business.  She also holds insurance licenses that enable her to address multiple risk management needs utilizing domestic and international resources.
