Name: Cindy Feinberg, PE, LEED AP Title: Partner Company/Firm: JFK&M Consulting Group, LLC A successful professional engineer, a LEED Accredited Professional and an entrepreneur, Cindy Feinberg, is a uniquely qualified engineer who literally grew up in an engineering environment. Her father was a founding principal of a major engineering firm and his friends and colleagues, who later became her business partners, were his engineering associates. Feinberg began her career at Jaros Baum & Bolles Consulting Engineers, another major industry firm. While there, she had the opportunity to learn, grow, and develop not only a distinctive portfolio of work but also a fairly diversified one including commercial, cultural, educational, healthcare and mission critical projects. Some of those significant projects included the World Trade Center Memorial and the WTC Memorial Museum, Paulus Hook Ferry Terminal, the SUNY Stony Brook Bio-Technology building and the Gehry-designed Beekman Tower, a 1.1 million s/f high rise mixed-use facility. It was just a natural next step to join together with some of the top talent in the engineering industry to form their own engineering firm. Jacob Feinberg Katz & Michaeli Consulting Group, LLC, began just three years ago with Feinberg as the lead to become a certified Women's Business Enterprise. Since that time, the firm has completed and/or secured prestigious projects for Cooper Union, CUNY-Baruch, DASNY, Dow Jones & Company, GSA, HIP, Kings County Hospital, Liz Claiborne, Mind-Builders Creative Arts Center (LEED), Mizuho Corporation, Nassau University Medical Center, New York University, NYC Office of Management & Budget, The Morgan Library and Museum, Shearman & Sterling LLP, and the Visiting Nurse Service of New York. As the majority partner of the firm, Feinberg works with her partners to align and implement the resources of the JFK&M team to meet and exceed client expectations. She maintains a strong marketplace presence by her participation in industry organizations including: AIA, AREW, American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC), CoreNet, NYBC, PWC, and WBC. She is also the recipient of a number of industry awards (Top 20 Women in Residential Real Estate, September 2009; Women Builder's Council's Outstanding Women in the Building Industry 2009; PWC Women of Achievement 2010) and a supporter of many industry related charities.
