Meet Dr Cie Armstead
With nationally recognized expertise in diversity and inclusion, I have a proven record in spearheading strategic initiatives that cultivate a culture of shared values, balance the demands of multiple stakeholders, and deliver exceptional outcomes.
I am also an adroit problem-solver. My mission is to create and deliver practical, results-driven solutions within a spirit of collaboration. Creative consensus is key. After all, everyone wants to contribute, and everyone wants to be heard. I nurture innovative thinking as we develop a consensus that fairly represents all participants. What’s more, I prioritize objectives. What are the “must-haves” versus the “nice-to-haves”? (I like to say that you need a well-made cake before you put on the icing.) As a transformational leader and skilled project manager, I have demonstrated success in designing, implementing, and evaluating complex projects that meet or exceed expectations.
Finally, I bring integrity to my working relationships. When I make a commitment, I do everything in my power to keep it. My mission is to create authentic and mutually beneficial relationships with my colleagues, clients, and strategic partners.
