Catherine Warren


President, FanTrust Entertainment Strategies

Catherine Warren has led advances in mass media and new media since 1985, working in the United States, the United Kingdom, Western Europe and Canada. As a trusted advisor to Fortune 500 corporations, major media, telcos, world-class tourist attractions and game corporations, Catherine has helped companies to build new audiences and revenues through new technologies. The former Chief Operating Officer of a NASDAQ-traded software company and European Bureau Chief of a computer magazine publishing house, Catherine has contributed to raising the capital and the profile for significant new media initiatives. She has published more than 25 books and magazine series for children and adults on science and computing as well as produced 20 websites and interactive broadcast initiatives, including the Gemini Award-winning CTVnews.com. Catherine also writes a satirical column and website exposing the world of finance and management for what it really is: nude illusion fabric draped over egos. Published in a major Canadian newspaper, Catherine’s weekly column Managing Life combines business and humour to put the "moxie" back into "oxymoron." Incredibly, she remains a strategist for the media and entertainment industries. Catherine serves on the Board of Canada's Bell Broadcast and New Media Fund and the Women in Media Foundation.
