Cathy’s life-long passion for communications began well before her first job ripping wire copy in 1982 and has evolved over the years to encompass nearly every platform and aspect of media -- from reporting and editing to broadcast management, talent casting and guest booking. She also has curated content for several of the technology industry’s most influential conferences.

Currently running her own consulting firm in San Francisco, Cathy spends her days saturated in new media and the digital realm, helping companies navigate the crowded landscape of new technologies and platforms.

Most recently Cathy led the charge on business development for Seesmic, a San Francisco-based start-up that enables global conversation using video as the conduit. While there, Cathy secured and managed the company’s relationships with top media organizations such as 20th Century Fox, The BBC and The Washington Post.

Prior to Seesmic, Cathy worked with Guidewire Group -- a global analyst firm focused wholly on emerging markets and technologies. During that time, Cathy created and hosted "I of Innovation", a weekly talk show providing a unique perspective an insight to the processes and people behind the latest technology trends. On Guidewire Group’s behalf she also launched “Six Minutes With”, a weekly podcast series for Network World.

Cathy also produced two of Guidewire Group’s conferences -- Innovate!Europe and Leadership Forum. In both cases Cathy was responsible for identifying and booking top speakers as well as moderating and emceeing the events. For the last several years Cathy also has played a key role in content curation for LeWeb, the largest technology gathering in Europe.

Back in the day, Cathy worked at TechTV, running the network’s talent and guest booking departments, and over the years has held several executive positions with PR agencies ranging from business development to account management.

When not traveling or meandering the digital world of the Web, Cathy can be found seeking the perfect hamburger in San Francisco, CA.
