Cindy Eckert
Quick Facts
Biography
A self-made serial entrepreneur and vocal advocate for women, Cindy defies
convention.
In her industry, in her companies, in her outcomes. Her work today in The Pink
Ceiling/Pinkubator continues to break barriers by investing in and mentoring other
women to get to her same outcomes. She’s on a mission to make women really rich.
You cannot miss Cindy. Everything she touches turns to pink. Over a distinguished 24-
year career in healthcare, in only the last 10 she has started and sold two businesses
for more than $1.5B.
First Slate Pharmaceuticals, which redefined long acting testosterone treatment for men
then Sprout Pharmaceuticals which broke through with the first ever FDA-approved
drug for low sexual desire in women — dubbed “female Viagra” by the media. After
selling the company for $1B in 2015, she successfully fought to get the drug back and
launch it on her own terms. Cindy has made waves, and made her own success,
creating mission driven companies that deliver big. Her results have become a widely
covered business success story featured in major media outlets. She is most proud of
helping others take command. The profoundly positive impact those companies have
made in people’s lives is what keeps her coming back for more.
