About India
India Wooldridge is the founder of Catalyst, a boutique advisory working with multigenerational families and family offices on alignment, governance and long-term stewardship. Her work focuses on how families translate values into leadership, decision-making and continuity across generations and structures.
India’s background is in global cultural research. As Senior Vice President of Consumer Intelligence at McCann, she led international research into how individuals, families and communities form identity, values and make decisions. That perspective now underpins her work with families navigating transition, complexity and long-term direction.
Having lived and worked across four continents, India brings a global lens to issues of governance, participation and continuity in cross-border family enterprises. She writes regularly on family alignment, stewardship and influence in the context of generational wealth, with recent contributions to The Rising Role of Women in Family Offices and Family Businesses. She is currently co-leading Generation Impact, research exploring how the rising generation is shaping values, decision-making and participation.
India has spoken at conferences and forums across four continents, addressing audiences of up to 1,000 people. Her speaking experience includes SXSW, The New York Times and Advertising Week, alongside family office–focused conversations with Simple and Tamarind Learning, and private advisory roundtables.
