She has been deeply involved in a variety of complex business projects including M&A, strategic exits, fund raising and strategy execution during her career. She began her career in investment banking as an equity research analyst at Credit Suisse and Goldman Sachs covering the telecommunications sector.
Kathy has held leadership roles in listed, family owned, private equity and venture capital environments. She is joining QuiX Quantum from Reynen Court, a legal tech start-up based in the US and The Netherlands where she held the position of CFO. Kathy graduated from Trinity College in Connecticut, USA and resides in Amsterdam with her husband and two daughters.
“The QuiX DNA is international and diverse,” says Dr. Stefan Hengesbach, CEO of QuiX Quantum. “I am proud that our employees consist of 12 nationalities, and our C-Level is internationally mixed as well: Dutch, German, Canadian, and now American with Kathy. Our big ambitions require solid reporting standards and, at the same time, a lot of flexibility in managing the financing of agile development projects. I am, therefore, very pleased that with Kathy we have engaged an experienced executive who combines these two worlds seamlessly.”
