Cathie Wood is an American investor who is in charge of running the affairs of the investment firm Ark Investment Management.

She comes from a military background and is a graduate of the University of California, from which she graduated in 1974 with a bachelor's degree in finance and economics. After graduating, Ms. Wood would go on and join one of the largest financial services firms in the world, Capital Group. She would work at the firm for three years and then head on to New York City for one of the longest stints of her career when she would spend 18 years working for an asset management firm.
