Cathryn Drew-Bredin, DesignInc

Cathryn speaks about the need for a flexible type of sponsorship that acknowledges the phase of life you are in. Life can get in the way of our professional goals – and this can be tough, no matter how temporary. Cathryn therefore advocates continued career support for women while navigating life outside of work.
