About Guest: 

Cynthia Gormezano is the founder and CEO of Cynergy Physical and Occupational Therapy NYC, a premier orthopedic physical therapy practice she established in 2001. Starting from a tiny 150 sq ft office as a solo practitioner, she has grown the company to 7 locations throughout New York City and Brooklyn with 30 providers and approximately 50 employees. Cynthia is a licensed Physical Therapist with a Master's degree from Nova Southeastern University, who initially studied international policy at Hebrew University in Jerusalem before pivoting to healthcare. What makes Cynthia's story truly remarkable is her personal journey of resilience. As a three-time lymphoma survivor, she grew her business while undergoing cancer treatments, getting married, and having children she was told she might never have. Two years ago, she faced another health crisis when diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis (a result of her chemotherapy) and underwent a double lung transplant. Since returning to work post-transplant, she has led her company to a 30% revenue increase while productivity improved by 10%, demonstrating her exceptional leadership abilities and indomitable spirit.
