About Katy Theroux

Working with technology, service and manufacturing companies from mid-sized to Fortune 50 public and private for more than 20 years, I have built exceptional relationships and developed groundbreaking strategies. Consistently results-driven, I apply my experience to simplify complex initiatives and drive positive change. With an unerring focus on the big picture, but never disregarding the details, I excel at aligning cross-functional teams to generate and execute sustainable strategies. Throughout CHRO, EVP, SVP, CMO, CPO, CAO and COO board facing roles, I built strategy, managed operations and reported directly to the CEO. I continually embrace new roles, additional responsibilities and ever-widening enterprise-wide program management responsibilities with the overarching goals of fostering innovation and transforming the customer and employee experience.
