Catherine Robertson

Director of Partnerships & Global Networks

Partnerships & Networks

Catherine leads partnerships and global networks at the Abdeex Foundation, developing the relationships with community organisations, universities, civic institutions and regional funders that determine whether an opportunity is genuinely reachable. Her work concentrates on the last stage of discovery — making sure a grant published in one language reaches an applicant working in another, through people and institutions they already trust. She oversees the Foundation's referral partnerships, co-funding conversations and the regional advisory relationships that inform which pathways are opened next.
