Bio
Ami Gadhia
Katherine has visited JHU, and met with our various researchers and start-up CEO’s. She has provided them with excellent market feedback. Katherine’s participation and insightful remarks, at our annual Alliance for Science & Technology Development Meeting, were particularly helpful to the faculty presenters.
Geoffroy De Ribains
Katherine and I worked together for 2 years during her time at EDRIP. She has demonstrated excellent analytical, mathematical, computational and communication skills. She was dedicated to her work, motivated and took initiatives. She has learned many aspects of the venture capital business and practice. During the time we worked together on two medical device investments which EdRIP led and for which the total invested amount was over 15M EUR. She performed various tasks such as physicians interviews, building financial models or creating marketing presentations. It was a pleasure to work with her as she is always positive and responsive. I would definitely recommend Katherine.
