 Katheryn Curi Katheryn Curi has an impressive stat sheet from her days as a professional cyclist but it’s her role as the directeur sportif (DS) for the Amy D Foundation that really makes her standout. The mission of the Amy D Foundation is to create opportunities for women to reach lofty goals, and this is exactly what Katheryn does. She’s been credited in kick-starting the careers of countless women in the pro peloton and brings together athletes from all of the country to teach them to work together as a team. She leads the charge both on-and-off the bike; volunteering for local bike coalitions, leading community rides, contributing to Zoom conversations and giving back by cleaning roadways that cyclists enjoy in her hometown.
