MEET THE OPUS TEAM

Cyndi Urbano

President/Owner

Cyndi opened her marketing agency in 2011 to support local small businesses and nonprofit organizations. She brings almost three decades of experience in marketing, branding, and publishing to her clients. Before launching her own company, she was the VP of Branding for SAIC, running the company’s award-winning marketing and proposal development units for 10 years. She started her career as a journalist for a national publishing house in Chicago, where she served as an editor and then publisher. Cyndi moved to another publishing house to run four international trade magazines. The thread throughout her entire career has been her passion for storytelling. She loves to help clients craft and share their stories, whether personal or professional. She is comfortable in both traditional and digital media. Cyndi holds a Bachelor’s degree in Scientific Journalism and a Master’s degree in Magazine Journalism. She spends her free time playing with photography as well as hiking, cooking, and traveling.

Joe Urbano

Vice President/Owner

Joe brings more than 30 years of experience as a PMP-certified project manager to his role at Opus Book Publishing. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Union College in New York and an MBA in Finance from the University of Chicago. After retiring from Fannie Mae, Joe decided to help Cyndi run the back office. He is responsible for overseeing production as well as finances. He manages the company’s relations with vendors and leads our installation and web teams. During his free time, he enjoys hiking with his wife and dog, practicing Tae Kwan Do, and learning as much as he can about woodworking and blacksmithing.

Meghan Lacey

Web Developer

Meghan has spent the last 15 years as a web developer and specializes in creating WordPress websites using Divi for Opus Book Publishing’s many clients. She loves using creative solutions to build and design websites, and she has a lot of fun coming up with new thoughts and ideas to make these websites come to life. Website design and development has been a big professional passion of hers since 2008, and she hopes to keep learning and growing. Outside of work, her passions include: game design, video games, reading, and playing Warhammer 40k.

Katara

Office Greeter

Katara is an engineer of first impressions, vigilantly guarding the door to greet everyone. She started at a young age (ever since she was an 8-week-old pup!). She is devoted to her work and feels this is her natural calling. In her spare time, she enjoys hikes, treats, and belly rubs!
