Bio
Rebecca Mehrwerth
Cathy is an incredible leader and motivator of people. She is an oncology expert and is widely respected in this field. Her ability to set strategy and vision is exceptional. I managed Cathy directly and never had to worry about her ability to hire the best and keep them focused. She is a passionate advocate for oncology products and patients - and her knowledge benefits those around her. I was always impressed with her high energy and willingness to go the extra mile for her team and the company.
Dr. Gayle Kempinski, DNP, MBA, MSN, APNP, ANP-BC, OCN
Cathy is a passionate and dedicated nurse leader. I had the privilege of working along side her for approximately 5 years as her direct report, and she always made my professional development a priority. Cathy cared about her team as if we were family. She ensured our needs were met and we had the support, tools, and resources we need to be successful. When she asked "what do you need from me, what can I do for you?" it came from her heart. She sincerely wanted to know how to help. She was our biggest advocate and fiercely championed for us. Her work ethic and attention to detail were second to none. She was an amazing boss, partner, and friend.
