My Journey
How I Rose Up to Become a Business Leader
Hi! I'm Cecilia Hajredinaj (Rodriguez Gallardo)
Growth Strategist
My story began with a bold move from a small town in Honduras to the United States, a decision that shaped my perspective on resilience, adaptability, and the power of diverse voices.
For over 25 years, I’ve held leadership roles with global organizations like Citigroup, PwC, and Morgan Stanley, where I led businesses, developed people-centered strategies, and coached leaders to achieve extraordinary results.
As a Latina navigating corporate America, I faced numerous challenges that taught me how to innovate with limited resources, lead strategically, and adapt to constant change.
As I advanced in my career, I realized that my holistic, creative approach to problem-solving - identifying root challenges and crafting strategic solutions - was instrumental in helping leaders overcome talent and business obstacles.
I also recognized that gaps in talent strategies prevent companies from fostering inclusive & thriving cultures that support sustainable growth and meet client needs.
These experiences inspired me to launch Thrive & Lead by Design.
Today, I draw on my extensive experience and broad skillset to help companies create future-ready cultures that thrive and lead by design.
