About
Hi, I'm Katie.
I've spent my career making teams more effective — at nonprofits, a startup I co-founded, and at Google. Now I use what I've learned to help small businesses succeed.
I've spent my career making teams more effective — at nonprofits, a startup I co-founded, and at Google. Now I use what I've learned to help small businesses succeed.
I have deep experience in program management, user-centered design, and communications at places like Google, Stanford's d.school, and a multi-national startup that I co-founded.
I know what rigorous people operations looks like at scale, and I know what it takes to build from nothing. That combination is rare — and it's what I bring to every engagement.
Designed and ran people programs at scale — performance, development, engagement — across global teams.
Master's degree developing deep skill in user-centered design and design thinking.
Built a team from scratch at a multi-national startup — every role, every hire, every people process.
Every company has different goals, a different team, and different constraints. I don't show up with a ready-made playbook. I start with yours — your team, your way of working, your words — and build something that fits.
The goal isn't a perfect system on paper. It's one you and your managers will actually use, and your people will trust.
I'm organized, energetic, and empathetic. I bring the structure and the know-how so you don't have to carry the people side alone — and I work at the pace your business actually moves.
