Edna grew her sales by 40% with our strategic support!

Edna Cochez
Chef & Baker

“Working with Cynthia gave me clarity as to where to best focus my creative energy to get the best possible outcome for my upcoming launch.

With her help, I reviewed my pricing and tweaked my offer and was able to sell $35,000, almost $10,000 more than my previous launch.

Her help was very valuable in understanding my launch statistics and whether my advertising strategy was working or not. I couldn´t have done it without her!”

“I finally have structure to my business’ days, weeks and months that I have always craved.”

Paola Maggiulli
of The Tiny Italian

“Since working with Cynthia, I finally feel like I am managing my beloved business with the love and professionalism it deserves rather than my previous ad-hoc approach.

Cynthia also helped me gain clarity on how my business can help my ideal customers and gave me the confidence to break my current services down and build it back up into a business that I am super proud of and can’t wait to grow.

From learning to how to analyze my marketing stats to implementing a content strategy that works for me and engages with my audience. I finally have structure to my business’ days, weeks and months that I have always craved.”

“I cannot say enough about the added value.”

Paula Mohammed
of In My Kitchen

“Cynthia has been instrumental in moving my business forward.

She helped me prioritize what to focus on and walked me through the steps to successfully execute our Virtual Corporate Team Building Program and my podcast.

This is only the tip of the iceberg. I cannot say enough about the added value Cynthia has brought to me and my company. I can’t wait to continue working with her.”

I’m Cynthia Samanian

bonjour, salaam, hello!

CEO, Mama of 2 & HArvard MBA

I'm a mom to 2 adorable toddlers and partner to a lava-cake baking French-American.

Growing up with Iranian immigrant parents, education was paramount and that led me to pursue my MBA at Harvard.

As a child, I was always setting the table and helping my mom serve platters of Persian stews, rice and of course, tahdig. So it was no surprise that I would eventually leave the corporate world and follow my heart to the culinary industry.

Over the last 8 years, I’ve founded a food media company, operated a culinary events agency and most recently, taught hundreds of chefs how to teach cooking online through my program, Culinary Creator Business School.

Since having children (2 in 3 years…during COVID. Oof.), I've prioritized building businesses that give me the ultimate luxury: flexibility.

And after working with culinary solopreneurs over the years, I’ve discovered that I’m not the only one who wants the flexibility to work on my terms.

On top of that, I know you have big goals. You’re craving a strategic partner and hands-on support to help you implement all the things on your to-do list.

I’m thrilled to welcome you to The Culinary Boss™ and invite you to take the next step with me inside Mise en Place™. I’d love to share my business expertise to help your multi-dimensional culinary venture grow.
