Katy Roig

Kathryn "Katy" Roig is the Vice President for Finance and Chief Financial Officer at the University of San Diego (USD), a private nonprofit Catholic university. She joined USD in 2007 and has spent her tenure rising through the institution's finance leadership: she served as Controller from 2007 to 2011, as Associate Vice President for Finance from 2011 to 2019, and has held the VP for Finance & CFO role since 2019. In that capacity she leads the university's Finance Office, which comprises five distinct operating units delivering core financial services across the institution.

Before entering higher education, Roig built her career in nonprofit and healthcare finance. Her public-accounting experience concentrated on not-for-profit organizations, particularly in healthcare, which led to her first industry role as Controller for the Sharp HealthCare system — an organization spanning four hospitals, two medical groups, and a health plan. She has been a California Certified Public Accountant (CPA) since 2002.

Roig holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly SLO), and a Master of Science in Executive Leadership (MSEL) from the University of San Diego. According to her USD biography, she has lived in San Diego for roughly two decades with her husband, Rob, and their two sons.

• No documented investment thesis exists. Roig is an institutional CFO, not a documented angel or venture investor; no stated thesis, sector preferences, or check-writing criteria for startup investing could be found in any source.
• Her professional focus, as evidenced by her career, is stewardship of institutional finances: budgeting, controllership, treasury/financial operations, and nonprofit/healthcare accounting — not early-stage equity investment.
• Any founder relying on the "seed-stage angel investor" label from the source database should treat it as unverified. It is not supported by primary or secondary sources.
