Catherine is the Data & Analytics Practice Area Lead at Slalom Consulting.
With a background in theoretical particle physics, Catherine did a Ph.D. at the University of Liverpool before moving into the corporate world.
Catherine chose to go into physics because she enjoyed the subject and it was a subject that came very naturally to her. She also knew the degree would give her great career options in the longer term.
When she was doing her PhD she realised that working at such detail on one specific problem wasn't for her. Catherine found she preferred working in larger teams where they were tackling bigger more business orientated problems.
When she left university and had decided against a career in physics a company called Detica came forward and offered Catherine a job as a data consultant. It was here that her physics background clicked with a career in data
After working at Detica for a number of years she moved to PwC and now she’s at Slalom.
