About Cat Hicks:

I'm a skilled technical leader in behavioral science and data, with deep domain expertise in how people achieve, innovate, learn and thrive and how to measure it. 

I've led research in a wide variety of settings: embedded cognitive science research on problem-solving and learning, foundational experimental psychology research on cross-cultural environments for learning, and applied product development as an entrepreneur-scientist. 

I'm an authentic storyteller, a collaborative colleague, and a sharply strategic thought partner. I love interpreting data and building inference from it: I think that intelligent data work and thoughtful research are indispensable to our complex future systems.
