Ralph Catto
For years Ralph Catto has started, led and grown successful commercial and social enterprises. Prior to that in the 1990’s he became one of the youngest directors of a large UK stockbroking firm where he specialised in corporate finance including flotations, equity fund raising, acquisitions, takeovers and general corporate advice. His mantra is to be ‘successful and significant but success must come first’ and he knows the easiest way to achieve that is to work with brilliant people.
