I had the privilege to work with Cathy at the 2017 and 2018 Super Bowls. Before I had first-hand working experience with Cathy, I knew of her as a brilliant event producer with many years of experience who produced multiple events in her career at Viacom and Hulu. I had the opportunity to work with her and see her skills first hand. Cathy executed the Super Bowl event at a high standard with enthusiasm and commitment. Her ability to gather information and make strong business decisions was greatly appreciated. You could always count on Cathy for her judgment during the crucial times of a project. She was creative, detailed oriented, positive outlook and is good at organizing and bringing people together. Her ideas are exceedingly creative and thought-provoking, and her implementation is always impressive. She is very calm under pressure and is always able to manage unforeseen events smoothly.
