Cat Russo

President & Founder

With more than 45 years experience in publishing, Cat Russo is a proven strategic and tactical leader in non-profit/association publishing and management, a driver of new and innovative content, and a successful product and people manager with a winning track record attaining revenue and lowering expenses. At RussoRights, Cat offers knowledge, ability, experience, and connections in publishing, especially around subsidiary rights, distribution, and licensing of published content. The revenue stream created by the opportunities RussoRights presents to clients can increase gross content sales by 30 percent or more above print sales, and extends the life-cycle of published content to 5+ years rather than 18 – 24 months. Cat has served as a guest lecturer for the George Washington University Master's in Publishing program and is available to speak to your organization about how to maximize the potential of your content with subsidiary rights and about understanding copyright laws.
