Cindy aspires to place the full knowledge, experience and array of services Fragomen offers at the disposal of her clients, which range from large, high-technology, Fortune 100 corporations to start-up businesses and entrepreneurs.
As a partner in the firm’s Silicon Valley office, Cindy helps major technology companies manage the volatility of the current marketplace. Her efforts include long-term strategies to reduce the expense of her clients' immigration programs without negatively impacting the job satisfaction of their immigrant workforce, alongside short-term responses to the often-extreme shifts in policy brought about by changing administrations and regulatory regimes.
Cindy’s clients value her technological acumen, which allows her and her team to outpace changes roiling the tech sector. By leveraging data analytics, she builds strategic partnerships with her clients that help them anticipate and prepare for trends, like the pace of government approvals, rather than merely react to them.
