Over 15 years in data-driven decision making and leadership
Hi, I’m Kate.
As a Georgia Tech Systems Engineer and a Harvard MBA, I dive into detailed problem solving and then zoom out to plan big-picture strategy. With my operational and leadership roles (GE, IBM, and Apple), I scrutinize opportunities and challenges from all angles and align my teams and cross-functional partners towards a successful course of action.
Whether you want to bring organization to chaos after fast growth, streamline operations to raise investment capital, or launch a new product or strategy, Align360 can help. As an advisor and consultant to late-stage startups and growing businesses, I work with leaders and their teams to focus and simplify data, processes, and people to cut costs and maximize revenue.
I believe business can be a driver for positive change in the world and operations is at the heart of all business. I love seeing how the strengths and experiences of individuals can multiply the impact of a team. This is why I built Align360 and why I believe my unique experience can help your organization grow and thrive.
I look forward to discovering together how we can implement changes to develop your team’s strengths, delight your customers, and improve your bottom line.
