About Cima

Built from the gap we all felt

Cima started with a simple observation: women in business are surrounded by noise - content, advice, networking events - and still feel profoundly alone in the hard decisions.

Where it came from

I spent years building a career in a field where the unwritten rules were written by and for someone else. I was good at the work. I was less good at pretending the environment suited me. I kept looking for a group of women who would talk honestly about that - not just celebrate wins, but sit with the messy middle.

I didn't find it, so I started it. Cima began as a monthly call with five women I trusted. We talked about clients, money, confidence, strategy, and the particular exhaustion of having to be twice as prepared to be taken half as seriously. Those calls changed how I made decisions.

The name comes from the Spanish and Italian word for summit - not as a destination, but as a vantage point. A place to see clearly, breathe, and figure out the next move.
