Prior to this role, Catherine held the positions of associate dean for strategic partnerships and managing director of the Align Program. Align, a Master’s in computer science specifically designed for individuals who did not study computing as undergraduates, is offered at seven Northeastern campuses and has an enrollment of close to 1,500 students. Catherine is also a lecturer at Northeastern’s D’Amore McKim School of Business where she teaches on social innovation and entrepreneurship.
Before Northeastern, Catherine was executive vice president at Root Capital, a social enterprise that provides financing to agricultural businesses in Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa, and where she helped launch the Women in Agriculture Initiative.
Catherine holds an MBA from the Instituto de Estudios Superiores de la Empresa (IESE) in Barcelona, Spain, and a B.A. in ancient Greek from Wellesley College. She is on the board of the Criterion Institute, a think tank that uses finance as a tool for social change, and on the investment committee of the Weissberg Foundation.
