Je me suis essayé à beaucoup de sports collectifs. Petit, c’était le football ! Puis, un célèbre numéro 23 m’a attiré, entraîné vers le basket, puis ce fut le volley. J’aimais la beauté de ces sports et surtout leurs ballets de sauts. En déménageant à Toulouse pour des études de Chimie, j’ai eu un vrai coup de cœur pour ce qui est resté ma grande passion : le rugby. C’est aussi, à Toulouse que j’ai découvert le handball, sport roi dans les universités françaises et qui partage avec le rugby, la même recherche de l’intervalle.

Les sports individuels ne m’ont jamais attiré, j’aimais partager les victoires, les défaites, la difficulté d’un entraînement, atteindre quelque chose que je ne pourrai viser seul. Certes, j’aimais m’entraîner seul, acquérir plus de technique, répéter les gestes pour plus de maîtrise, plus de réflexes mais en pensant à l’aventure, aux résultats d’une équipe.

Cela me guide encore beaucoup aujourd’hui dans ma vie de coach. J’accorde beaucoup d’importance à l’équipe qui est au service d’un produit, d’un service : beaucoup d’importance aux interactions au sein de l’équipe, au cadre mis en place ou à mettre en place.

Hey there! I’m Catherine Jones, CEO and Transaction Coach at Zuzi Strategies, where I guide clients through high-stakes transactions as a coach, business advisor, and mentor all rolled into one. With a legal career that kicked off on Wall Street as a finance lawyer, I’ve advised investment banks and companies globally on over $72 Billion in transactions. My legal journey culminated in serving as General Counsel of two startups – Virgin Mobile Latin America and Upside Business Travel, where I focused on keeping legal costs down while managing corporate structures and international operations. My career has spanned the globe, working for an international hotel company with operations from the Maldives to Mexico and a Latin American telecom. I’m fluent in Spanish and interned on the Supreme Court of Argentina. And if you think the US legal world is complicated, try doing it in another language and legal structure!

I've recently transitioned to transaction coaching, recognizing that much of my time was spent delving into the psychology of deals—I've even been called an "expensive therapist" by a client! I serve as a sounding board and advisor to clients going through the emotional roller coaster of high-stakes transactions, keeping my clients true to their end goals and values in that chaos.

Now, I'm thrilled to share my expertise with you. Join me at the workshop where I’ll share strategies to slash your legal spend, drawn from my own experiences and those of others. Let’s explore actionable insights together and pave the way for your startup's success. Oh, and when I'm not coaching, you can find me exploring the Western Slope, capturing moments through my lens, or lost in a good book. Let’s connect, learn, and thrive together in Colorado's vibrant startup community!
