CATIE AS A LEADER

Catie believes that true success is the ability to continually learn and adapt while making meaningful impacts. She values vulnerability and authenticity in her leadership approach, seeing these qualities as integral to fostering genuine connections and driving innovation.

Leadership is not power or authority, but about empowering others.

Great Leaders care deeply, show vulnerability, and create a lasting impact by fostering genuine connections.

The future of leadership is adaptive, diverse, and deeply committed to impact.

When I think of a leader, I think of someone who guides with empathy, champions inclusion & diversity, and drives transformative change.

CATIE ON WORK-LIFE BALANCE

Catie prioritizes her mental health by listening to her intuition and recognizing when she needs to take a break. She understands that pushing through difficult times can be detrimental to both herself and those around her. By creating time and space for movement, she ensures she remains balanced and healthy. This practice not only helps her maintain her well-being but also enables her to lead more effectively, demonstrating the importance of self-care in achieving sustainable leadership.

CATIE ON CREATING EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

A significant highlight of Catie's career is designing and leading the Accenture Talent Track, an initiative aimed at creating equal opportunities for refugees in the Netherlands. This program has been a tremendous success, with 70% of participants being offered full-time contracts after a six-month traineeship. This initiative reflects Catie's commitment to addressing pressing community issues and fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued, seen, and heard. By focusing on systemic change, she has made a lasting impact on both the participants and the broader community.
