Meet Catherine West: Head of Finance, Money-Saving Expert, and the Calm in the Storm

Panintelligence
Publish date: 10th July 2025

Every team has someone who knows where every penny is, where it’s going, and — more importantly — where it shouldn’t be going. For us, that person is Catherine.

As our Head of Finance and a long-standing member of the Panintelligence team, Catherine doesn’t just look after the numbers — she watches over them like a hawk. With an eye for detail and a talent for keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes, she’s our in-house money-saving expert, quietly making sure the budgets stay balanced and the business stays grounded.

Much like her TV namesake, she’s also the first to share a great bargain or nudge you to make sure you’re thinking about your pension. Whether it’s financial advice or a savvy tip on where to get half-price trainers, Catherine’s got your back — and probably a receipt to prove it.

Whether she’s steering a month-end close, navigating year-end chaos, or calmly unpicking the mysteries of a questionable invoice, Catherine is the kind of person every team hopes they have — and we’re lucky we do.

She doesn’t chase the spotlight. But when the numbers add up, the team’s on track, and there’s room in the budget for cake — you’ll find her at the heart of it all.

So if you ever want to talk finance, pensions, or the best place to grab a deal — meet Catherine West.

(Just don’t try to sneak through an expense claim for “essential team morale wine”. She’s seen it all.)

So here she is - the woman who can close a month, spot a saving, and still find time to remind you your ISA allowance is about to expire.

Turning data into decisions: From hindsight to foresight with PiPredict

How PiPredict Transforms Embedded Analytics into Decision Intelligence? For many organisations, embedded analytics has become synonymous with dashboards. Data is visible, reports are accessible, and charts are embedded directly into products and internal systems. Yet despite this progress, decision  making often still relies on instinct, experience, and after  the  fact analysis. The uncomfortable truth is that most analytics platforms explain what […]
