Katica Roy is committed to closing the intersectional gender equity gap in our lifetime.

Katica Roy is a gender economist, former Global 500 global executive, programmer, data scientist, and the CEO and founder of an award-winning SaaS company, Pipeline. CNN, CBS, Bloomberg, Cheddar, MarketWatch, and Yahoo Finance have sought Katica for her sharp and unconventional take on the day’s headlines. 

She’s interviewed President Biden, Vice President Harris, Senators Booker and Gillibrand, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, Canadian Pay Equity Commissioner Karen Jensen, Sophia Bush, Eve Rodsky, Gretchen Carlson, and Dr. Maya Rockeymoore Cummings.

Her high-octane, visionary articles have been published by the World Economic Forum, Fast Company, Fortune, Forbes, Bloomberg, NBC, Entrepreneur, The Hill, The Advocate, Harvard Business Review, and Morning Consult. Her articles have garnered over 2.9 billion impressions. 

In 2017 Katica was named a Luminary by the Colorado Technology Association; in 2018 a Colorado Governors' Fellow; in 2019 a Top 25 Most Powerful Women in Business and the Stevie Entrepreneur of the Year (Gold Award); in 2020 the Colorado Entrepreneur of the Year; in 2022 a LinkedIn Top Influencer for gender equity. She is a member of Fast Company’s Impact Council and Bloomberg’s New Economy Forum.
 

As the daughter of an immigrant and refugee, Katica is driven by a passion to eradicate economic inequality and champions the rights of refugees, women, and children. Katica fought for pay equity twice—and won—with the help of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.
