CATHY HYODO
Market Managing Partner and
Partnership Board Member
Grant Thornton LLP
Over the course of her 30-year accounting career, Cathy Hyodo’s prescient skill for navigating current and future business challenges has helped tech start-ups and Fortune 100 companies achieve widespread success. This LA native is also laser-focused on helping the next generation of accountants grow their careers. Her dual focus on empowering people and providing personalized client service has led to consistent growth for both Grant Thornton and the LA office she leads.
More specifically, the veteran accountant has played a significant role in growing Grant Thornton’s technology sector from the dot-com era through the age of AI. Long before the current craze of special acquisition companies (SPACs), 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 SPAC targets with the in-depth knowledge they needed.
