My name is Cynthia Gallardo. I am passionate about providing a positive interaction with every person I come into contact with on a daily basis, whether in a personal, professional/secular, or academic setting. My personal mantra is: Results. Not excuses.
I help women entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders struggling to transform an idea to a vision to a reality to a profitable business by discovering their unique business DNA to launch, build, and protect their legacy.
I grew up in Momence, IL, and I graduated from Millikin University in Decatur, IL with a double-major in Biology and Spanish in 1995, cum laude. I graduated from Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, IL with my MBA in 2001, magna cum laude. I am proud to say that in January 2020, I recently graduated cum laude from Southern University Law Center with my juris doctorate.
I worked for AT&T for 14 years in Wireless Customer Service with roles ranging from front-line representative to the Director of a 1000 seat Call Center. I am currently self-employed and an entrepreneur at heart. I am currently co-partner in several businesses: El Tigre SD LLC, El Tigre Painting, and Cynergy Alliance, Inc. El Tigre SD, LLC provides mechanic and auto body work and holds a used dealer license. El Tigre Painting, LLC provides commercial painting services. Cynergy Alliance, Inc provides commercial cleaning. The foundation for each business is the Golden Rule, “treat others as you want to be treated.”
I recently opened my law firm, Cynthia Gallardo Law, LLC. It is a Law Legacy Boutique offering services catered to immigration, wills/trusts, and business strategy. In addition, I am a Business Coach, and I assist entrepreneurs to take their business, at whatever stage currently in, to the next level. My goal is to inspire others to live and leave a lasting legacy.
