Cecilia Lynch is the founder and chief strategist of Focused Momentum LLC, a San Francisco-based strategic planning and management consulting firm. Cecilia is a recognized leader in strategic thinking and a seasoned strategist for both commercial and non-profit sectors. Through Strategy Class®, Cecilia makes strategy accessible with professional-grade strategic planning education that empowers business leaders, entrepreneurs, nonprofit executives, and strategic professionals to break through confusion paralysis and lead their organizations with clarity and confidence. Ms. Lynch was recognized early in her career for her unique approach to strategic leadership as an executive of the wildly successful brand Dockers®. Her signature style provides the catalytic spark that keeps energy high even during the most challenging consulting engagements. Cecilia's approach to consulting is far from prescriptive. She leads from the belief that everyone has a hidden strategist inside them.

It is her team's job to engage the hidden strategist to build brilliant strategic thinking that is well-understood and internalized by those who must drive planning and lead implementation. She credits this approach with why so many of Focused Momentum's clients achieve their long-range planning goals a year ahead of their initial plan.
