Born in Scotland and raised in England, Catherine developed a strong sense of drive from an early age, graduating from high school at just 15 before her family immigrated to Texas in 1981. This set the stage for a dynamic career in banking and the oil and gas industry. After retiring in 2006 to be a stay-at-home Mum, she later returned to professional life with a career shift into financial services in 2023. Outside of work, she enjoys playing tennis and spending time with her five grandchildren, who keep her life joyful and full.
