Cat Moody

Principal Consultant
Kaiwhiriwhiri Mātāmua

Consulting

Cat gives clear, practical advice and coaching to senior leaders on governance, strategy, and public-policy issues. She loves working in teams to solve tricky organisational problems using tried-and-true methods.

Cat has a knack for handling complex issues that span different sectors. She's got loads of experience in planning and coordinating efforts across government and stakeholder groups.

As well as bringing a wicked sense of humour, Cat is well-travelled and brings a global perspective to her work – even if she does let an occasional bit of US spelling slip through.

While working in the US, Cat advised the World Bank on organisational design and governance reform. She also designed and facilitated residential leadership-development programmes as Global Head of Leadership at OneLeap.

Examples of Cat's work

  • Leading our work with NZ Trade and Enterprise to design a new Leadership Model aimed at fostering an understanding of the capabilities that NZTE leaders need – the work included consulting over 150 staff globally
