Cheryl joined Boyden Interim Management as a Principal based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 2008.   Since joining, she has taken Boyden’s interim practice to the next level, implementing standardized policies, procedures, and processes to allow Boyden to continue to attract the best and brightest candidates and offer Boyden’s clients a comprehensive set of services at market competitive prices.  Cheryl is now a Managing Director helping to lead Boyden’s Interim Management practice for the Americas.  

Prior to joining Boyden, Cheryl was a Director with Deloitte Consulting LLP, a member firm of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu.  In her 19-year career with Deloitte, Cheryl gained extensive project management experience, by leading large-scale Information Technology engagements for multiple public and private sector clients.

Cheryl also drove the development of key internal initiatives utilizing her experience in process reengineering and change leadership. Among these initiatives was the development of a national interim labor procurement center. This involved building a team of recruiting experts, developing and implementing a web-based solution, and standardizing policies and procedures.  Cheryl was successful in achieving unanimous consensus across the national practice to utilize the new center.  This centralized procurement approach allowed Deloitte’s Consulting practice to not only minimize hiring risk but also achieve maximum cost savings.
