Cathy has been a member of the Next Point team since the inception of the partnership in 2004. She not only performs a wide variety of administrative functions, but she also plays a key role in supporting the Mergers and Acquisitions group and is responsible for preparing the CIMs. Cathy first worked in the consulting business in 2001, when she joined a Buffalo business broker. There she met two of the partners who would go on to form Next Point and agreed to move to the new business. She is a graduate of the University at Buffalo, and a certified notary. In her administrative role, Cathy is involved in virtually all communications inside and outside the firm.
