Cathy Sugden Email & Phone Number

As a senior program professional with over 18 years of experience in engineering and technical domains, I am driven to unravel complex and ambiguous problems and solve for something practical and meaningful. I enjoy working with diverse stakeholders and being an effective conduit between them, technical experts and business professionals. Through bringing different perspectives together, I drive success by distilling feedback into key objectives and ensuring alignment. Leveraging my deep technical expertise and research capabilities, I love getting to the heart of what the real issues are and asking the right questions to uncover opportunities and constraints. I’m adept at translating complex technical details into actionable strategies and building productive relationships while focussing on driving research-driven real-world impacts. I’m a consultative leader who enjoys unlocking talent in others so they can find their wings. I’ve led large teams of over 100 people in complex and diverse environments. Interesting problems are everywhere, and I have enjoyed being versatile in applying my skills to achieve success within a variety of industries, including water and oil & gas, and in both onshore and offshore (marine) environments. I’ve worked across North America, South America, Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific.
