Background

About Cat Pierson

As the current VP of Research Partnerships at Manifold, I bring decades of progressive experience, evidenced by consistently elevating to higher levels of leadership and entrusted with expanded accountabilities. My career trajectory has been steadfast in its growth, from foundational roles to strategic leadership positions. A pivotal aspect of my career has been leveraging my high EQ and improvement-driven approach to harnessing the power of data which has empowered decision-making across all levels of an organization, including transforming complex data challenges into actionable insights, particularly in the healthcare sector. My path at Manifold and previous companies has been defined by creating and nurturing impactful partnerships, architecting robust sales strategies, and leading operational enhancements. I take pride in having secured pivotal deals, including foundational partnerships, and in managing a significant sales pipeline. What gets me going every day is helping our partners unlock the value of their research data to enable new therapies, partnering with organizations to leverage the latest technologies, and advising leadership teams. Let’s chat about how to make the most of your data, crafting strategic partnerships, refining operational processes, or even exchanging thoughts on the latest in leadership. And if you’re into endurance sports, I'm always up for a conversation about my Ironman or marathon adventures – I'm on my journey to complete the World Majors! Feel free to reach out - whether it's business, running, or just a casual chat! ‍
