Bio
Nafis Haider
I had the pleasure of working with Catherine for the better part of 2 years while she was Head of Finance for Lebara. She is an outstanding Finance Business Partner, and always went above and beyond to ensure that her stakeholders were always comfortable with the information they were delivered. As a leader, she is a great people-person. She was extremely supportive and always focused on the development of her employees. She was not only a personal mentor, but also helped bring the finance team closer together by hiring external resources to coach the team and build their collaboration. She was instrumental in shaping Lebara to be the successful brand it is today, both from a financial and strategic perspective, and is sorely missed by the entire team. I would highly recommend Catherine both as a leader and a dedicated finance professional.
