We are thrilled to announce Cindy Sample as our newest Kornerstone.
Kornerz network is anchored by high-signal insights, transformational ideas, and leaders who shape the discourse.
Cindy exemplifies this vision, bringing over two decades of clinical mastery, scientific rigor, and executive strategy to our network.
The Story Behind the Thinker.
Cindyâs journey reflects a relentless pursuit of understanding human performance, nervous-system regulation, and clinical excellence. Grounded in deep academic rootsâwith an MSW from Catholic University and extensive psychoanalytic training from the Washington School of Psychiatry, she built her early career mastering the intricacies of complex trauma and behavioral health. Driven to continually push the boundaries of her field, she expanded her expertise through specialized training at Harvard Medical School (Wellness), Stanford School of Medicine (Addiction & Recovery), and Columbia University (Narrative Medicine), developing a rare, 360-degree perspective on human well-being.
Rather than staying within traditional clinical walls, Cindy took her insights directly into leadership and systemic architecture. As Clinical Director at New Paradigm Recovery, she designed groundbreaking, trauma-informed treatment models that dramatically elevated patient outcomes and organizational performance. Recognizing that individual well-being is inextricably tied to organizational health, she also stepped into executive boardrooms as Senior Advisor for the Leon H. Sullivan Foundation, coaching leadership teams on building cultures of resilience, engagement, and sustainable performance.
Today, Cindy sits at the leading edge of modern behavioral healthcare. As the founder of The Clinical Longevity Collaborative, she bridges the gap between emerging longevity science, neuromodulation, and clinical care. Simultaneously, she shapes the next generation of healthcare leaders as an educator and coach at the George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences. Whether delivering international lectures to global physician networks or reviewing scientific manuscripts for the Journal of Theoretical & Philosophical Psychology, Cindy continues to lead conversations that challenge old paradigms and elevate human potential.
Where Visionaries Shape the Frontier
Kornerz was built for the outliers, the rare minds who don't just follow trends, but actively redefine them. Cindyâs arrival is a testament to what makes our network distinct: an intentional space where world-class thinkers, pioneers, executives, scientists and clinicians converge to dismantle status-quo thinking and deliver pure, high-signal clarity.
As a Kornerstone, Cindy will stand at the helm of our most forward-looking conversations, shaping the discourse around executive longevity, nervous-system regulation, resilience programming, and the next evolution of holistic leadership.
