Kate is one of the highest quality and most trusted finance professionals I have had the opportunity to work with during my career. It was a pleasure to work with her at Concateno Italia. Her professionalism was outstanding. She understood and helped the Italian business a lot - providing the right level of challenge and support to me, as General Manager. She was also very well respected by the local finance head who worked hard to meet her high standards
