Cynthia Corsiglia

AC Höcek Architecture

As director, Cynthia Corsiglia brings over two decades of experience as a lawyer specializing in the financial services industry to AC Höcek Architecture (ACHA) and CARRRE’s programming, development, and operations. She has worked as outside general counsel, chief operating officer, and chief compliance officer across disciplines to help build, support, and guide business management teams. Her work has always encompassed a broad range of responsibilities, developed during her years of private practice in NYC and as general counsel and chief compliance officer of Crédit Agricole Structured Asset Management Advisers in Paris, France.

Cynthia is known for her ability to provide practical solutions, spot issues and manage risk. She previously practiced law at Sidley Austin LLP and Winthrop, Stimson, Putnam & Roberts, LLP.  She has volunteered with Lawyers Foreclosure Intervention Network to negotiate mortgages on behalf of homeowners facing foreclosure, and with Northeast Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity (NeVOSH), to assist in the administration of pop-up medical clinics in Central America.  

All of these roles prepared Cynthia to support and advance the work of ACHA and CARRRE, not only with respect to the intricacies and demands of the architectural profession, but also because of her commitment to service and respect for collaborative pursuits. She has a keen appreciation of the social, cultural and ecological challenges of our built environment, and of architecture’s ability to improve lives through better design.
