Bio
Cathy Gwin is the senior director of communications at NTI. A founding NTI staff member, she is the primary media liaison for NTI and also serves as the coordinator of NTI’s Seminar Series. Since 2001, Gwin has supported all of the organization’s signature initiatives, including the production and release of the film Last Best Chance, a fictional account of al Qaeda operatives obtaining nuclear weapons and weapons material.
Gwin served as the primary film liaison for Nuclear Tipping Point, a documentary with former Secretary of State George P. Shultz, former Secretary of Defense William J. Perry, former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger and former Senator Sam Nunn describing their efforts to galvanize global action to reduce urgent nuclear dangers and build support for reducing reliance on nuclear weapons, ultimately ending them as a threat to the world.
Gwin came to NTI from the law firm of King & Spalding, where she served as former Senator Sam Nunn’s director of communications and public policy. She previously served as Senator Nunn’s press secretary in the U.S. Senate and the spokesperson for the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
