CMC - Key Persons
Cynthia Medina Carson, CEO Wager is a Salary Transparency Maven, Career Guru, and Organizational Growth Expert and Next Generation Workforce Advocate. Cynthia started Wager because she saw firsthand how the lack of transparency and conversations created barriers and anxiety in the workplace. Professionals kept asking the same question, "Who can I talk to about these issues?" Wager advocates for transparency at all levels of the workplace via hard conversations, workshops, and executive training.
Prior to her move into the talent field, Cynthia worked as an international relations and policy expert for the Department of Treasury, Homeland Security, and JP Morgan, and served in Peace Corps, Nicaragua. Cynthia is also the Founder of the Cheeky Monkey Club, a networking group for women who hate to network, is a Board member of her hometown's Girls Inc., and hosts a makerspace in her basement studio. She is a graduate of Georgetown University and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.
Powerbitches first met Cynthia Medina Carson at our Feminist Entrepreneurs roundtable in May. We were immediately impressed by her business savvy, and excited by what WAGER represented as part of a growing group of businesses building interventions to help close the gender pay gap.
