Cindy Hackmann

A graduate of the Mizzou School of Journalism, Cindy started her career at an agency in St. Louis, working for a number of ag commodity groups. This work gave her exposure to the entire food and agriculture supply chains, and how each link influenced another. In 2010, she helped shape and start the US Farmers & Ranchers Alliance, an effort to unite the agriculture industry to increase consumer trust and confidence in the food farmers and ranchers grow and raise. Now back on the agency side, she leads the CLUTCH Reputation + Influence discipline to help clients identify opportunities to lead in their respective categories and build brand reputations that position themselves for long term success.
