She has great creative instincts, a keen strategic mind and an intense dedication and drive to roll up her sleeves and do the hard work - all of the trappings that make for an exceptionally well-rounded marketer.

Waleed Elgindy
Head of Brand Marketing
"Katie is a born people leader and brand champion. She is one of the sharpest and motivated brand managers I have encountered in my 15+ career in marketing and brand management. She is strategic, precise, and creative - always thinking of the next step. We worked collaboratively on a NASA FDL / Intel / Google partnership, and I had the opportunity to witness her diplomatic skills at work as well as her excellent people management skills. In addition, she did a phenomenal job of leading the development of Google Cloud's first ever brand campaign brief. Outside of Google, Katie has proven to be an incredible business coach and guide - guiding the development and launch of my design business's website www.highvibehavens.com. I highly recommend Katie and would be honored to work with her again."
