Bio
Rick Barton
Kate is an outstanding business strategist and organizational consultant. When you work with Kate you know that she has done her homework and is coming to the table solution focused and committed to the very best outcome possible. It's with great pleasure I endorse Kate, and affirm her abilities to any organization as a strong leader, team player, and results oriented professional. She is a winner and any organization would be fortunate to have her on their leadership team.
Alicia Parr
Kate has a talent for seeing the whole system and rapidly identifying misalignments that are keeping an enterprise from fulfilling its full capability. This is why I brought her in to help our team gain clarity as we re-organize how we work together as we diversify as a business. She was instrumental in helping us identify the weak links in our alignment chain and getting a plan together that moves us forward collectively. If you’re looking for an outstanding systems-thinker, change agent, and facilitator, you can’t go wrong with Kate.
