   Can Being Different Make You Stronger? with Cynthia Izzo in A LA LATINA

   Cindy Izzo is the Global Head of Digital Risk at KPMG International and a powerful example of what it means to lead A LA LATINA. In this episode, Cindy shares her inspiring journey—from translating for her family as a child in Arizona, to navigating the Big Four as a young mother, to becoming one of the few Latinas in cybersecurity at the global level. 🔑 Here are three key takeaways from our conversation: Find your tribe: As the only Latina in many rooms, Cindy proactively sought out Hispanic networks to feel seen and supported. You can’t be an A+ everywhere, every day: A powerful piece of advice from a mentor helped Cindy realize she could excel in different areas of life at different times—and that was more than enough. Turn your early experiences into superpowers: From translating for her family to bridging communication between teams at work, Cindy learned how to lead by understanding people and bringing them together. She reminds us that empathy, authenticity, and faith can be the greatest assets for building a thriving career—and that being a mother is a leadership style in itself.

Published 6 Aug 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] So we'd like to get writing and get to know everything. What made you be who you are and what you do today? What's your background? What's your story? I owe a lot of who I am to my mom and to my Nana. The strongest women I think I've ever known. I grew up in a very small Latino community in Arizona right on the border of Mexico. I am first born here in the US. Very few of my relatives spoke English.
