In today's highly diverse and global marketplace, we believe cultural intelligence™ must be part of everyday decisions.

That's why we left our corporate jobs to do what we do today.

We've created the company we wish we could’ve hired  in  our  former  corporate  careers by bringing  the discipline of data-driven consulting, the agility of creative agencies and power of cultural expertise all under one roof.

Since 2010, we've empowered CxO's, leading global brands, healthcare giants, media companies, among others, to help them accelerate how they understand, size and turn diversity and cultural trends into profits.

Our origins are unconventional, making us the only independent business strategy and marketing firm founded by a team of 100% former corporate clients.

Our CEO and co-founder Lili Gil Valletta arrived to the U.S. at the age of 17 with only a student visa, a suitcase and not a word of English. as a rising star in corporate America, she quickly became one of the youngest female executives at corporations like Johnson & Johnson where over her 10-year tenure she pioneered multicultural marketing strategies and founded de Hispanic employee resource group, HOLA. At J&J she met our co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer, Enrique Arbelaez who was inspired by the need to innovate and particularly apply technology to innovate in an ever-changing marketplace. and with that the inspiration for CIEN + came to be.

We are also proudly a woman-owned and minority-owned enterprise.
