TESTIMONIALS
Cheryl Swirnow, in particular, is extremely knowledgeable, clear, and a great communicator.
“I have been running complex creative organizations for many years. At certain times a CEO may need assistance in organizational development: from having the right people on the bus in the right seats, to what does this team need to look like two years out to achieve our strategic goals. I highly recommend CMS Consultants for this task, for day to day management of people, and for major restructurings. Their hands on expertise is best of class.”

I had so much trust in Cheryl’s abilities to get projects done well and quickly…
“What Cheryl brings to the table is not just the breadth and depth of knowledge when it comes to all things Human Resources (benefits, conflict resolution, you name it) but also a fast-paced entrepreneurial spirit unique to the function. Her wisdom is rivaled only by her efficiency :) I had so much trust in Cheryl’s abilities to get projects done well and quickly that by the time we eventually built a People Operations department internally, I continued to retain Cheryl as counsel for our HR leader and myself.”
