President & CEO

Anabel Lopez, CPA, PMP

Meet the Certified Public Accountant whose goal is to take you from Excel Hell to Information Nirvana. Anabel Lopez leads the company’s Performance Management and Business Analytics team. She assures business is integrated with technical knowledge, not one or the other. She is an analytical thinker with a track record in delivering projects in Software Development, Data Analytics, Data Integration, Project Management, and Financial System Implementations.

During her career, Anabel always landed in situations that required a hybrid individual who understood both Information Technology and Business. She decided to fill that gap and left Corporate America in 2014 to start her business analytics firm. In situations where clients were looking for expertise on a short-term or project-based basis, her goal was to have Cumberland Irving be their source of knowledge and professionalism, but more importantly, provide individuals that could speak and understand two key departments in an organization: Accounting and IT.

Cumberland Irving’s goal is to provide resources that are certified and qualified, backed by deep experience and strong communication skills.

Anabel's background in Corporate America included roles as Controller, Director of Financial Planning & Analysis, Director of Business Intelligence, and Vice President of Operations. Her extensive hands-on experience has equipped her with a deep understanding of finance and operations. Now, as a Certified IBM Analytics Consultant, she specializes in implementing cloud-based modeling tools for organizations, helping eliminate error-prone spreadsheets and manual processes in planning and analysis. Additionally, as a Certified Project Manager, she ensures that all internal documentation, protocols, and communication are maintained at a high standard while keeping stakeholders informed and delivering top-quality results.
