Culp is a graduate of Indiana University and IU’s Kelley School of Business. She began her career at the city of Indianapolis during the tail end of former Mayor Steve Goldsmith’s tenure. In 2000, she became executive director of the Boone County Economic Development Corp. before joining Indy Partnership (now part of the Indy Chamber) in 2003 as director of economic development.
Katz Sapper is the area’s second-largest accounting firm based on number of employees, according to the most recent IBJ statistics.
