About Us
Catherine McGuinness, Managing Director
Catherine is a recruiting expert with over 25 years in corporate recruiting and executive search. Before joining Preod in February 2008, Cathy managed sales, service, operations and general management executive search engagements for the $40+Billion Americas region for Dell Inc., a Fortune 50 company. During her time with Dell, Cathy also had responsibility for executive recruiting for corporate services (IT, Finance, HR, Legal) for this global organization. Her work experience spans leadership development, executive assessments and onboarding.
Prior to ten years with Dell, Cathy worked on the executive search side, inclusive of five years with Heidrick & Struggles. She started her career in the London office of Russell Reynolds Associates.
Cathy has also served as President of the Fordham University Alumni Association.
In addition to executive recruiting, Cathy is the author of the best-selling Emperors' Clothes. Part cautionary tale, part farce, Emperors' Clothes tells the story of two executives and one mob boss who put a Sopranos-style spin on corporate strategy.
Cathy holds a BA in English Literature from Fordham University.
Woody Brittain, Senior Advisor
Woody founded Preod after a very successful career, culminating in his position as COO, with PricewaterhouseCoopers. He had also been the CEO of PwC Consulting, the spinout from PricewaterhouseCoopers. While he was COO, over 100 separate Price Waterhouse firms were merged into a single globally integrated organization. This was followed by the merger of Price Waterhouse and Coopers & Lybrand to create the then world's largest professional services organization. During his tenure, revenues and profits reached record levels. Woody brings a wealth of experience in client service, in attracting and developing professional staff, and in building and leading professional services organizations.
Woody currently serves on the board of several public companies, has served as national treasurer for the National Urban League, on the Harvard Business School Board of Associates and on the Advisory Board for the ORD Leadership Forum at Yale.
Woody has a BA in Economics from Yale University, and he received his MBA from the Harvard Business School.
