From navigating the Great Recession and surviving COVID-19, to weathering an unpredictable economic climate (including the impact of tariffs on a business that depends on 80% imported product), Cydney has found ways to keep things “rosy” while adapting to whatever comes next. She will discuss building a varied and dynamic team by seeking talent beyond traditional industry channels, and fostering a network of supportive vendors and business resources — often out of necessity, but always with curiosity and creativity.
