Bio

About Kate.

For more than two decades, Kate has built the operating infrastructure that turns strategy into execution: planning cycles that stick, OKR systems people actually use, and cross-functional frameworks that keep leadership teams moving instead of spinning.

She works with leaders who need a partner to translate vision into reality: building strategic operating models, leading cross-functional execution, and helping organizations adopt AI safely and effectively. Her background spans wellness hospitality, media, and growth-stage companies, industries where moving quickly without all the information is standard practice.

Before this work, she founded two companies from zero to $1M+ ARR, which gave her a builder's instinct she brings to every strategic challenge.
