Debbie’s relationship with CMI started when she was a candidate for a previous employer/CMI client.

When she was getting ready to exit her latest start-up venture, Vindicia, and needed to replace herself she turned to us at Cardinal Mark.

Debbie wanted to protect the equity she had earned by having Vindicia hire a VP of Sales that could deliver the next level of growth.

Vindicia retained our services and the VP of Sales is still at the company 3+ years later, leading explosive global growth with clients like Intuit and Blizzard Entertainment.
