Cathryn C Peirce
I’m a woman who knocks firmly on doors.
Head held high, smile wide, I take pride in my ability to both draw people out and earn the trust to be invited in. I live with intention, and you’ll know it from the first knock.
From Fulbright Fellow in Ivory Coast, West Africa to Founder & CEO of a social impact financial technology company, my success in building relationships and achieving goals has always been predicated on earning the trust of others through my character and competencies.
My life's work is to build out mechanisms by which people can more effectively act
on their concern for gender, racial, environmental, and economic justice.
Let's do more than profess our values; let's practice them!
