Kate brings 30 years of experience in growth strategy, marketing and go to market, customer strategy, digital product strategy, and transformation, with focus on the exploitation of customer centricity, digital, and data to drive value creation, innovation, and turnaround.
Kate is both an experienced C-suite executive and an advisor to boards and is thus well-versed in the real-world headwinds and opportunities inherent in challenging situations.
Kate’s leadership experience includes C-suite roles at pre-seed start-ups, private-equity-backed scale-ups and global corporates, and across industries including media, retail, consumer goods, health, and financial services. Examples include turning around a failing late-to-market streaming service to become one of the largest entertainment services in the world, building a business-to-consumer (B2C) health ecosystem for a global consumer-packaged-goods player, and driving the digital transformation strategy and outcomes for a global retail bank.
Kate has a Bachelor of Engineering in mechanical engineering from the University of Bristol, and she serves on the board of Oxfam’s Enterprise Development Committee, which invests in predominantly female entrepreneurs in developing nations.
