CATHY HYODO
Managing Partner
Grant Thornton
Cathy Hyodo is the longtime leader of Grant Thornton’s Los Angeles office. Over the course of a near 30-year accounting career, she has helped the firm achieve ongoing growth in her city and throughout the country. She has helped tech start-ups and Fortune 100 companies achieve their own widespread success by knowing how to navigate current and future challenges. She is also deeply invested in supporting the next generation of accountants. She serves on multiple advisory boards for USC, and in these roles, she helps shape policies and programs that develop agile graduates.
Hyodo predicted that SPACS would gain traction in the marketplace. She created a SPAC alliance that brought ample new business to Grant Thornton and provided those clients with the in-depth knowledge they needed. She has developed similarly strong specialties in a range of ever-evolving fields, including digital media, e-commerce, software and software-as-a-service.
