In my experience Katharine is the kind of VP who seeks to remove obstacles so her teams can succeed in the execution of their mission. She is a fierce advocate for her staff while holding them to a high standard of work. Katharine's approach is to hire smart people, give them tasks and challenges which will be of value to the organization (and its customers), and set the team up for succeed. Her understanding of, and commitment to, agile development principles is particularly strong for someone in a senior leadership position.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Katharine for the last 2.5 years. During our time together, I witnessed Katharine's depth of dedication to the health of her teams. Katharine prioritizes people over the process of human resources and always found the time to sit and listen to her team and their needs. Katharine was responsible for growing the engineering team from 30 to over 60 people in a short period to support the growth of the company. With Katharine's promotion to CTO, it was great to see her tackle the emerging technology of the engineering organization, in an org where each scrum team has tech autonomy. Katharine is humble and willing to learn. Katharine pushes her engineering organization to innovate and optimize while ensuring the focus remains on the overarching goals of the company. Katharine is thoughtful, and an incredibly intelligent person, ready to listen and will take the time needed to learn and ask questions and challenge where required I recommend Katharine in any Engineering Leadership role and look forward to working alongside her again someday.
