TESTIMONIALS
“CRT Inc. and Cancer Research UK engaged Growing Good to provide operational management strategy, infrastructure, executive, and non-profit compliance support to an expanding multi-million dollar US non-profit organization. Over the course of 18 months, I worked closely with Growing Good co-founder, Cathryn Dhanatya, during which time she became a highly valued advisor and member of our team. She was a pleasure to work with. Cathryn brought valuable operational experience and her knowledge and insights within the non-profit sector were first class. Cathryn is extremely hard working and organised and often went over and above her normal duties to enable us to complete our project within extremely tight deadlines. I look forward to working with the firm Growing Good again if the opportunity arises.”
-Dr. Amarjit Purewal, Senior Legal Counsel Cancer Research UK, and U.S. Board of Directors Cancer Research Technology, Inc.
“Cathryn is a dream to work with. She is the full package – not only does she have deep professional expertise, she was able to support our team on multiple levels – helping us craft strategy, operations, budgets, messaging, communications artifacts, proposals, foster key external relationships, etc., all while ensuring that our team stayed on course for ambitiously set milestones for fundraising goals. Cathryn is that rare consultant who is exceptionally talented at both big picture vision-making and detailed execution, able to meet a broad established team and quickly drive toward timely, high-quality deliverables. She generously introduced us to other key contacts across industry and ensured that we had the insights and preparation to best engage and promote our accelerator successfully.
But the biggest thing is that Cathryn never settles on giving you only what you ask for. She delivered a higher standard of excellence then was requested from her that helped elevate our entire program. I would highly recommend Cathryn to anyone who asks.”
-Dr. Sutin Chen MD, Clinical Science Principal at MITRE & CodeX Steering Committee Chair
“Cathryn is truly the ‘Swiss Army Knife’ of consultants and leaders. She provides meaningful guidance, advice, expertise, coaching, and thought leadership in all realms of operations and organizational strategy, but more importantly she is an amazing communicator and capacity builder. I believe that in her heart of hearts, she is a fundamentally an educator, who asks meaningful questions and lovingly pushes our team to level up in what we do and to do it better. Her vast experiences as an executive and consultant give keen insights and lessons learned that help us to streamline our processes, and execute our plans smoothly. She always strives to create positive impact in the work and always goes above and beyond with every deliverable. She and her team have become trusted advisors and members of our team helping us reach our goals. She has built her company Growing Good Inc to be a comprehensive professional service firm, which provides excellent services and truly meets clients where they are and takes them where they need to be.”
