Galindez hired by Syska as director of marketing and communications

New York, NY Syska Hennessy Group has hired Michelle Galindez as the director of marketing and communications.

In this new role, she aims to refine Syska’s marketing and communications strategy and create an in-house marketing agency—a first in Syska history. This agency will support the firm’s technical expertise and thought leaders, while serving as a strong backbone for business development.

Galindez joins Syska after 16 years at global management and consulting firm for engineering services, where she most recently headed national marketing and communications. There, she developed and enhanced the brand by creating and implementing a number of successful marketing, staffing, branding, communications and public relations campaigns. In 2016, Michelle was featured in Hispanic Executive for her role in rebranding; she has also served as a past president of the Society for Marketing Professionals Services (SMPS) and is currently part of the group’s mentorship program. Her areas of expertise include branding, staff development, strategic marketing, communications and public relations, graphics analytics and client care.

She holds a bachelor of science in business management with a concentration in marketing and psychology from CUNY Brooklyn College and attended the Shillington College for Graphic Design. Additionally, she is a LEED Accredited Professional.

A true born-and-bred New Yorker, she is a passionate Yankees fan. When she’s not at a game, you can find her baking and decorating cakes for family and friends.

“As we are about to celebrate our 90th year, I am looking forward to the opportunity to develop Syska Hennessy’s marketing agency to really help drive business synergies that align with our strategic vision,” said Galindez.

“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Michelle to our team at Syska! We believe that by leveraging her talents and passion, we will be able to achieve our strategy in record time,” said Cyrus Izzo and Gary Brennan, co-presidents of Syska Hennessy Group.
