Cinthya Schinhofen
Cinthya Schinhofen’s story is one of resilience, determination, and the unwavering belief that where you begin in life does not define how far you can go.
At just 11 years old, Cinthya immigrated to the United States with her family of six, living together in a garage as they began building a new life. Those humble beginnings shaped her work ethic, determination, and belief that success is not defined by circumstances, but by the courage to pursue something greater.
Throughout her career, Cinthya has worked her way into executive leadership, successfully helping companies grow, strengthening organizations, and developing high-performing teams. In a traditionally male-dominated industry, she has earned her seat at tables where she was often the only woman. Rather than allowing those circumstances to limit her, she built her credibility through leadership, strategic thinking, and results that could not be ignored.
Today, Cinthya is the co-owner of Harvest Landscape Enterprises, one of Orange County’s leading commercial landscaping and landscape construction companies, employing over 800 people throughout Southern California. Ranked No. 69 among landscaping companies nationwide, Harvest’s success reflects a commitment to growth, operational excellence, and strong leadership.
While proud of her professional accomplishments, Cinthya believes her greatest impact extends beyond business. As a wife, mother, and entrepreneur, she understands the importance of pursuing ambition while remaining grounded in family, purpose, and personal growth.
Her journey has inspired a deeper mission: to empower women to recognize their worth, find their voice, and confidently pursue opportunities they may have once believed were beyond their reach.
Cinthya is passionate about encouraging women to think bigger, challenge limitations, and understand that leadership is not about fitting into a room, but about having the confidence and ability to make a meaningful contribution once you’re there.
She believes true success is measured not only by what we accomplish, but by the opportunities we create and the people we empower along the way.
Her philosophy is simple: Your beginnings do not define your future, and you do not need permission to become the woman you aspire to be.
