Caterina Fake

American businesswoman

Caterina Fake built a career in business at a period when the rules of commerce were themselves changing.

The record lists Caterina Fake as American businesswoman.

Caterina Fake was born at Pittsburgh in 1969. Her recorded nationality is United States. She was educated at Choate Rosemary Hall and Vassar College.

Modern enterprise is global, capital-light and fast: companies can reach scale in years rather than generations, and lose it as quickly.

She worked as entrepreneur and computer scientist.

Her recorded affiliations include Smith College.

Enterprises outlive their founders or they do not, and that is the whole test.

That the business was built from United States shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.

Caterina Fake is still active, and the verdict on the career has not been reached.
