“I first met Catherine when I was Board Chair and she became a member of the Board of
Managers and Property Committee for the South West YMCA. . She made an instant contribution
with her knowledge of facilities and their impact on people in the workplace, working to integrate
new ideas to make it more productive and efficient.
Catherine’s desire to help make our YMCA a success demonstrates her entrepreneurial spirit
and drive. I would highly recommend her in an entrepreneurial, high energy environment where
she can take a concept and drive it to completion.
Gil Troutman, Former Board Chair YMCA-Southwest, Former CEO DSPT
Fran and Gil Troutman , Fran and Gil Real Estate Group
“Catherine and I worked together at Intuit. When the company was remodeling one of it's
buildings, we worked on the project to really understand how this generation of knowledge
workers needs to come together to be creative, to innovate, and to use technology to bridge the
gaps in time and distance. It wasn't about the design of a building, it was about the design of a
work style that could then be expressed in many ways, of which the physical building was only
one part. That project was the most fun I had at Intuit.”
Michael Kane , Former Director QuickBooks Product Development , Intuit
“As a presenter Catherine is engaging, personable, and uses her warmth and humor to connect
one-on-one with her audience. As a business colleague Catherine is a joy to work with. Filled
with innovative and creative ideas, Catherine has that spark of energy that challenges the current
thinking and envisions future opportunities in a fun and engaging way. It is continually my
pleasure to work with and be challenged by Catherine’s thinking and insights.”
Katherine Hart, Ed.D., CSP , Principal Consultant , ClearVision Consulting (formerly K.A. Hart &
Associates)
“I have worked with Catherine on numerous occasions through the years on volunteer
assignments and found her to be an energetic, enthusiastic, innovative, dependable, personable
and highly intelligent colleague who is an asset to any venture. She has the ability to rapidly
organize a diverse group of people, in a high stress environment, and achieve productive results.
Catherine is a pleasure to work with.”
John Buckel , Former Sheltering Mgr, Silicon Valley Chapter , American Red Cross
“Catherine was way ahead of her time in regards to remote work and the virtual office. As a
vendor, she educated us as to what the future workplace environment would be and we provided
her with the tools to promote her vision. Not only is she visionary, she is detail oriented, and very
persuasive. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Catherine and looking forward to many more
opportunities in the future.”
