Cathy is Content Director at Institutional Investor Journals. She creates editorial content that supports 

the group’s core scholarly publications. Her focus is on making the technical research more accessible to 

a broader audience and enhancing user engagement. She spearheaded the addition of video and audio 

across www.iijournals.com and launched an innovative, web-first offering called Practical Applications.

Cathy—who spent 10 years with Institutional Investor through 2000—returned in 2011. During her 

absence, she launched a business with her husband in the building industry in Brisbane, Australia. The 

couple also owned and operated oyster leases in Moreton Bay. 

Cathy and her husband sold the business in 2004 and embarked on a seven-year blue water cruise on 

their 40-foot sloop. They traveled 30,000-miles, lived in 28 countries and educated their son—who was 

five when they left—on board. The family relied on wind and solar energy to power their boat, and they 

lived in uninhabited atolls for extended periods of time.

Prior to moving to Australia, Cathy worked in Hong Kong for Institutional Investor’s Newsletter Group, 

launching Asia-Pacific content for various titles. Before that, from 1990-1996, Cathy worked in New York 

for the same group, in a variety of positions. Before she left New York for Hong Kong, she was an 

Executive Editor managing publishing teams and launching new products, including Real Estate Finance 

& Investment.

Since returning to the United States in 2011, Cathy has become an avid yacht racer and skier. She is a 

two-time winner of the Padraic Fallon Editorial Award.
