Cathy Kim has spent more than twenty years designing and scaling initiatives that expand economic opportunity. A social impact entrepreneur and systems builder, she has led efforts to redesign how the New York City Housing Authority—the nation’s largest landlord—delivers community-based services; advanced rapid rehousing for families with children in the shelter system at Enterprise Community Partners; and built workforce and entrepreneurship programs that helped hundreds of women and food entrepreneurs launch and grow businesses throughout New York City. Her work focuses on creating practical pathways to mobility and removing structural barriers that limit opportunity. She specializes in coordinating cross-sector partnerships - public, private, and civic sectors - to build high-impact programs grounded in strong management and fiscal foundations. Cathy’s passion for business ownership as a pathway to economic mobility stems from her parents, immigrants who relied on their small trade and food businesses to keep their family afloat. She currently serves as Board President of Asian Americans for Equality (AAFE).
