Board of Directors

Cindy Castillo, president and CEO of CSSI, has led the company since 1993. At the time, the firm had only 10 employees, was just awarded its first prime contract with the FAA and recorded $250,000 in revenue.

Since then, through successful graduation of the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) 8(a) and Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) programs, Castillo has grown the company into an over $40-million firm with about 300 full-time employees in several locations on the East Coast.

As the leader of the engineering, information technology, and applied research company, Castillo continually invests in talent, infrastructure, and resources for CSSI, strengthening both operational efficiencies and core competencies to better service customers and employees.

An advocate of both professional and personal growth, Castillo serves on the board of directors, as a member, and as a mentor in many professional organizations, including the Air Traffic Control Association, the Small and Emerging Contractor Advisory Forum, Women in Aviation, the National Association of Women Business Owners, the Tower Club, Vistage International, and the Women Aviation Network.

A graduate of the University of California at Los Angeles with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mathematics and Applied Science, Castillo started her career at the Hughes Aircraft Company. At Hughes, she served in the Radar Systems Group and then in the Corporate Offices, with key responsibilities in their finance and business organizations.
