Strategic. Unshakable. Unapologetically Human.

Cathy Dimarchos is not your typical advisor. She doesn’t show up with surface-level solutions or speak in buzzwords. She meets you where it matters, at the intersection of strategy, humanity, and purpose.

With over 40 years of experience across strategic finance, governance, and transformational leadership, Cathy brings a rare depth of insight. Her career began in the high-stakes world of finance and business operations, where she led billion-dollar growth, designed scalable systems, and advised C-suite leaders on navigating risk and reward. But beneath her sharp commercial acumen was always something more powerful, a deep belief that business should build more than wealth; it should build legacy.

Cathy’s work is driven by a global mission: to reshape the way we lead, work, and live grounded in equity, integrity, and long-term impact. Her clients range from CEOs and executives to grassroots changemakers. Whether she’s in a boardroom, a rural community, or mentoring young leaders, Cathy brings the same commitment: to elevate people and strategy side by side.

A qualified counsellor and an intuitive listener, Cathy’s advisory isn’t just strategic, it’s deeply human. She helps individuals and organisations strip back the noise, confront what’s holding them back, and move forward with grounded confidence. Her approach is bold, honest, and anchored in values. She won’t sugar-coat the truth but she’ll stand beside you while you do the real work.

Cathy is a trusted board advisor (including at AGE Africa), an active member of SECNA and WiSE, and leads impact-driven programs globally, including long-standing partnerships in Africa that empower women, youth, and emerging leaders through education and economic pathways.

She believes that with the right intention, leadership can transform generations.
And she’s here to make sure it does.
