As the Chief Corporate Affairs and Brand Officer at Kerry Group plc, Catherine is responsible for sustainability, brand strategy, communications, public affairs, government, and NGO relations. Passionate about fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace environment, Catherine partnered with her peers to inspire positive change in the organisation, which led to the establishment of Kerry’s first LGBTQ+ employee network group, PRYSM, which was formed to help create a safe space for colleagues who identify as LGBTQI+. PRYSM has continued to promote LGBTQ+ rights to 23,000 people internally, with Kerry customers globally and the broader international community. In June 2021, Catherine was proud to sponsor Kerry in joining the Partnership for Global LGBTQI Equality (PGLE), and the signing of The United Nations LGBTQ+ Standards of Conduct for Business, which provides Kerry with a powerful framework to guide company actions, uphold human rights, and foster an environment of inclusion and respect for LGBTQ+ individuals.
