Cindy Tereba
CTO & Director International Affairs - Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce
Cindy Tereba was born in Luxembourg. After completing her secondary education, she went on to study fine arts and literature in London, Düsseldorf, and Paris, before embarking on an international career.
She started her professional path off at the Institut Français in Düsseldorf before she ventured into the business world, working for a German e-commerce startup.
In 2008 she left Europe to live and work in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. Here she became the Business Development Services Manager of the German-Emirati Chamber of Commerce (AHK) supporting German companies to enter the GCC countries.
Four years later she moved to Berlin where she first worked for the Luxembourgish economy, setting up the first foreign office of the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce abroad and founding the “Business Club Deutschland-Luxemburg”, a business network of Luxembourgish and German companies.
In 2019, she returned to Luxembourg to assume the role of Director of International Affairs at the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce, where she has played a key strategic role in shaping the team and service portfolio designed to support the international expansion of Luxembourg-based companies
Following an internal reorganisation in 2024, Cindy was promoted to Chief Transformation Officer (CTO) and joined the general management alongside CEO Carlo Thelen. In addition to her new strategic responsibilities, she continues to serve as Director of International Affairs.
As CTO, Cindy plays a pivotal role in driving the Chamber's transformation into a dynamic, client-centric, and forward-looking organization. She leads digital transformation initiatives, shapes organizational evolution through strategic decision-making, and fosters cross-functional collaboration.
