Catherine Ngo spent more than a decade working in corporate HR roles for top ASX companies, before discovering she could pursue a successful career as a writer and presenter. She’s a mum to a little human and two dogs, indoor plant collector, amateur stand-up comedian and entrepreneur, recently founding Keynoteworthy to offer diverse speakers a platform.
