How Catherine is building a better working world
“As an EY Oceania and EY Global leader, I am passionate about the fundamental importance of access to quality education that enriches the lives of every citizen and builds sustainable societies. We are at a pivotal moment in history to realize the ambition. The approach to education has remained largely unchanged for centuries but the digital age provides a fantastic opportunity to rethink how education is delivered for the betterment of every person around the world.
We bring the best of EY together with a shared commitment and purpose to meet this common goal.”
