Catherine Liao

Chief Strategy & Commercial Officer, Cardiex

A passionate technologist and entrepreneur known for her intuition, hustle and know how, Catherine Liao has an uncanny ability to recognize the white space where technology can be used to solve unmet needs. At age 19, Catherine got her start in tech working as a systems engineer for one of the first Internet conferencing services in the 90s. That eventually led her to the World Health Organization, where she successfully scaled WHO’s web infrastructure during the peak of the SARS epidemic, when demand for content exploded 20x overnight, topping over 14 million hits a day. As the Chief Strategy of Cardiex, Catherine now leads the go-to-market strategy for an innovative global medical devices company specializing in heart health.
