Katherine Ferguson

What I do?
I have the privilege of serving as a trusted advisor to emerging and hyper growth stage companies and their investors. It’s exciting to work with entrepreneurs whose ideas and vision are changing the world, and it’s rewarding to help them build long-lasting ventures. I absolutely love my job and the clients, partners and team I get to do it with.

Why Cooley?
I am passionate about entrepreneurship, which is the core to Cooley’s DNA. We are business builders and help companies access capital markets, scale to the next level, and drive towards a liquidity event. We think globally, and we support those who dream big and are willing to take risks to see their ideas take fruition.

Before Cooley:
I was VP of Marketing and Chief Culture Officer at Callis Communications, a high growth technology company, and led the company through a successful acquisition. It gave me first-hand experience and a real understanding of the critical issues that entrepreneurs face. Prior to that, I built leadership teams for venture and private equity backed technology companies at Korn/Ferry, a global executive search firm.
