She brings a wealth of experience and is well-versed in the IT landscape in Kenya and the region, having worked in a variety of industries such as manufacturing, aviation, and banking. While welcoming the appointment, Catherine had this to say: "I am excited to be joining the ADC at this particular time and look forward to continuing the tremendous work that has already begun.” Prior to joining Microsoft, she led the Engineering team at Stanbic Bank Kenya and South Sudan and was a member of the bank's Executive Leadership team. She was previously the Director of IT and Operations at Sidian Bank.

The ADC relocated to its new ultra-modern state-of-the-art facility at Dunhill Towers along Waiyaki Way in March, from Microsoft's office, where it had been hosted for the previous three years. The new facility will house the engineering, design, research, and innovation teams, as well as the Microsoft Garage, an incubation hub established as part of the continent's ongoing efforts to scale tech innovation. It also serves as the home of the Microsoft Africa Research Institute (MARI).
