ISP: CENTRAL

Catherine Jones

Head of Group Legal

Catherine joined the International Schools Partnership (ISP) in February 2019 as Head of Group Legal.

Before joining ISP, Catherine worked as a Senior Associate in the corporate department of Allen & Overy LLP, including a stint in the Moscow office. She gained a wealth of corporate experience and specialised in mergers and acquisitions, in particular on cross-border and multi-jurisdictional transactions. Since joining ISP, Catherine has enjoyed using her skills to help support ISP in acquiring schools and expanding the group.

With teachers in her family, the importance and value of education was demonstrated to Catherine from an early age and she has since been involved with several education and school related schemes, including reading programmes for primary school children and mentoring programmes for young adults.

Catherine grew up in Yorkshire, studied Modern History at Oxford University and is a long-suffering Leeds United fan. In her spare time, she enjoys travel, meeting new people and, most importantly, spending time with family and friends.
