Chief Executive Officer, WRAP
Catherine is on a mission to bring circular living to every board room and every home. Catherine has spent her career building coalitions globally with businesses and governments to drive system transformation, with particular expertise in the food, packaging, textiles and fast-moving consumer goods sectors. Drawing on her background at Fairtrade and the Coop, Catherine has led WRAP’s Behaviour Change and Business Programmes functions, and in 2025 has stepped up to be the CEO of the international environmental action NGO.
Under Catherine’s leadership, WRAP is delivering global impact through regional offices in the UK, Europe, America, and Australia. As the convenor of the Global Food Pact Network and the UK Food and Drink Pact, WRAP is transforming the food system by working with businesses, governments and funders to reduce food loss and waste and the greenhouse gas emissions that result. Both initiatives are united behind one goal: to support the UN Sustainable Development Goal 12.3 and halve global food waste by 2030.
WRAP also leads the Love Food Hate Waste international network, licensing its UK campaign model to countries around the world to support national citizen food waste prevention policies. With over 25 years of behavioural insights and evidence-based interventions, WRAP continues to be a trusted driver of change across borders.
