Peter Chulu
I have worked with Kate on several projects now where she was a client and her professionalism through challenging projects is something that he team has always appreciated. Kate leads by example and always manages to come up with solutions on how the research can be done better. Even as a client, she makes the team feel included and one never walks alone when they are on the same team with Kate. Kate’s research skills are impeccable and she is solution driven in her approach.
