LUCILLE DE CRISTOFARO

Chief Operating Officer

Lucille plays many roles. Literally.  She is not only our Chief Operating Officer overseeing finance, technology, human resources and office services for Siegelvision; she is also an actor, singer, musician who was in the original Broadway production of Les Misérables. 

Lucille first worked with Alan in 1998 as a temp between acting jobs. Took a full-time position at Alan’s former company, Siegel+Gale in 2003. Was handpicked by Alan to take over as his personal executive assistant in 2007 and has been working with him ever since. Talk about longest running role. 

Lucille considers herself a bona fide nerd. In college, she was a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism (a precursor to Cos-Play). No surprise that she adores all things sci-fi.

Lucille’s hidden talent:

Besides having a 4 octave vocal range, she has a brown belt in Shotokan karate. In other words, she can hit the high notes and hit you right in the kisser.
