Our Founder
Classy Gal Consulting was founded by Cathleen Cueto (a.k.a. Cathy). Cathy’s experience spans over 10 years as a corporate professional in the private equity industry where she spearheaded marketing, public relations, and project management operations for various portfolio companies. Before delving into the private equity realm, Cathy worked at her alma-mater, UCLA, in the Honors Program where she was responsible for leading outreach workshops and campaigns for prospective students, and managing teaching schedules, classroom logistics, and application processes for an élite group of Honors Program professors in the media and entertainment, government, and political arenas. Prior to her experience at UCLA, Cathy worked at a private recycling brokerage firm, and also spent some time teaching at a private K-12 school in Los Angeles.
Cathy’s background includes an MBA in Financial Decision Systems and Marketing Management from Loyola Marymount University, and a BA in Sociology and Education from UCLA. Cathy has a profound passion for helping and empowering women in the business world, mentoring and coaching students, and supporting minority, underserved communities. Today, Cathy and her team help many individuals, groups, and organizations from all walks of life by providing a wide range of content writing and instructional design services.

Our Commitment to You
We are dedicated to making online learning and training easier, more effective, more accessible, and more impactful. To that end, we conceive and develop innovative training tools, and make it possible for entrepreneurs and organizations of every size to have complete and effective training and learning systems.
Our Strategy
Because solutions that are too rigid or generic can be just as problematic as no process at all — we collaborate with you to tailor your processes for project delivery success. Together, we will help you develop solutions that are adaptable, scalable, and align with your organization, your culture, and level of project complexity. There’s no “one size fits all” strategy here – we focus on addressing the specific needs and pain points of our clients by creating custom-tailored solutions. That’s our promise in action.
Our Core Values
Clarity + Honesty + Transparency
We are honest and clear with our clients and our colleagues. We provide as much data as possible; we don’t hide bad news, and we strive to keep our team and our clients informed and excited about how we’re approaching the future.
Overcommunication
We believe in the process of communicating more. This includes regular updates, check-ins, and follow-ups, which help us address issues head on and avoid any misunderstandings.
Collaboration
We listen and evolve together, helping and supporting each other for the sake of a collective goal.
Quality + Diligence
We provide a consistent high standard, whether this is in the deliverables for clients or the effort we put into our team projects. We are thorough and diligent, and we care about our work.
Ownership
We hold ourselves and others accountable to clear expectations within an environment of honor, trust, and respect. We volunteer responsibility for projects and see our own tasks through to completion. As individual members of a collective, we see how we all contribute to the company’s vision; owning our work shows us our value in the team.
Mission-Driven
We are genuine partners to our clients and our colleagues, and we put ourselves in their shoes, and earn their trust and confidence every day.
Curiosity
We are innovative thinkers who constantly focus on exploration and growth. We have the desire to constantly question concepts and processes in order to improve, and we’re willing to leave our comfort zone and explore the possibilities.
