Cheryl Bassitt is a community builder at heart - a strategist whose career has been defined by strengthening connections between people, culture, and place. As President and Chairwoman of Terra Global Developments, Cheryl brings a rare and expansive leadership lens shaped by decades of executive experience, cross-sector collaboration, and a lifelong commitment to family, dignity, and human connection.

Before becoming a co-founder of TGD, Cheryl led a statewide healthcare association for more than twenty years, where she was known for navigating complex stakeholder environments, advancing organizational strategy, and creating platforms where diverse voices influenced real outcomes. Her work was rooted not just in execution, but in an enduring belief that systems are strongest when they serve people - not the other way around.

Cheryl’s most visionary work emerged long before Terra Global Development was a name, and it began right at her own kitchen table, where she first articulated what would become Kitchen Table Conversations and the Four Gifts Framework - tools to help families and teams communicate with honesty, purpose, and mutual respect.  Her framework has gained national recognition as one of the Top Five Next Best Brilliant Ideas for Humanity, elevating what it means to cultivate connection in personal and professional life.

Kitchen Table Conversations is more than a program; it’s a testament to Cheryl’s core conviction: that belonging begins where people are known, heard, and nurtured. Through online resources, communication tools, and guided frameworks, she has helped families and communities rediscover the power of intentional dialogue, transforming everyday interactions into sources of resilience and unity.

At Terra Global, Cheryl anchors the company’s philosophy that Community is at our Core - not as a tagline, but as a lived practice woven into every neighborhood design and every decision made. Cheryl’s leadership is guided by a simple truth: strong communities are not built by structures alone, but by the bonds we cultivate and the stories we share. At Terra Global Developments, she continues to elevate that truth into practice - making belonging not just an aspiration, but a reality.
