Cynthia McEwen
VP of People and DEI at Progyny

In the realm of HR, I am a collaborative and employee-oriented business partner eager to influence change, build focused, culture-centric programs, and ensure organizational alignment with overarching business objectives. I find my passion is in forming engaging environments that employees feel both valued in and invested in while understanding the importance of their own roles and contributions.

A tenured project leader, I take initiatives from conception to completion seamlessly with maximized ROI to both the employee and employer. I gain buy-in, drive elevated change management practices, and ensure top engagement through all phases of key projects.

Not your standard HR leader, I am just as much analytical and data-driven as I am creative and innovative. I seek to redefine processes and challenge the status quo to ensure growth, alignment, and forward progress.

Over my career, I have excelled in:
✓ Designing & Restructuring Benefits
✓ Boosting Employee Engagement
✓ Uncovering Roadblocks & Pain Points
✓ Driving Data-Focused Environments
✓ Developing Strategic Vision, Planning, & Execution
✓ Cross-Functional Collaboration & Change Management

I continuously work to truly understand what drives people in order to boost engagement, lower attrition, and ensure organizations remain competitive in their space. I am inventive and business savvy with the ability to tackle seemingly impossible business challenges while leading through vast change and transformation.
