Most recently, Cato spent the last decade as the NBA’s associate vice president of business operations for League Operations, where she worked on growing the game through strategic initiatives, including a basketball talent pipeline and related programs, the launch of the Basketball Africa League, and advocacy for women and people of color in basketball operations.

The addition of her background and knowledge will allow us to elevate our basketball operations in several areas,” said General Manager Jones in a statement.
