Bio
Mike Bizovi
I worked with Kate as the Vice President Analyst Relations from 2017 – 2019. As a communications leader, her skills extend well beyond analyst relations, but Kate truly stands out in her ability to manage relationships on a day-to-day and full lifecycle scale. Kate is a skilled AR leader with a proven ability to shape all aspects of an AR program from a budget, analyst selection, research positioning, sales support, and content creation perspective. She understands the value proposition of analysts as influencers in the market and as advisors internally within the company. She is a passionate advocate for analysts, but also for the company and employees she works with - as comfortable mentoring new hires as she is in deep planning with senior executives.

Kate is a talented, trusted ambassador every company needs. She brought bold thinking, passion, and expertise to everything she did on behalf of MicroStrategy. Her unmatched understanding of Analyst Relations and Public Relations, and her work with leading technology analyst firms resulted in positive coverage and the highest praise from MicroStrategy’s executives, its senior sales and technology leaders, and the rest of the global team. We collaborated on a number of Marketing campaigns, announcements and events, and I always appreciated her extensive industry knowledge and invaluable guidance, especially during critical times. I loved working with Kate and sincerely hope I have the opportunity to do so again.
