CONSULTING

I serve as a strategic thought partner for companies at various stages and sizes. My work spans and intersects the following categories:

  • People Strategy: I’ve advised C-suites across industries on people strategy, including roles and responsibilities for HR functions as well as specific people initiatives, advising on sensitive cultural issues and communications. In addition, I have hands-on experience building objective hiring processes, cross-organizational performance criteria, and mechanisms to evaluate hiring funnels. Internally, I’ve built performance management policies, employee handbooks, and hiring policies.

  • Organizational Strategy: I partner with organizations to create high-performance via annual planning, strategic initiatives, and KPI/OKR practices.

  • Product Strategy: I have hands-on experience building products in the Talent space and have advised early-stage teams on everything from feature development to building an early product vision.

  • Data Strategy: Often, I work with clients who collect data and don’t know what to do with it, or have a clear idea of outcomes they want to measure but don’t know how to get started. From data collection to analysis and presentation, I help clients build a data -generating system that stems from their unique goals.

 
 

What People are Saying

The talent space is full of people who spew platitudes and generalities. Not Katherine. She’s specific, nuanced, and insightful. When I contacted Katherine for an expert interview on the present and future of the DEI training space, Katherine dropped insight after insight that I am still repeating to others (and relying upon for strategic decisions) six months later.

We had an idea of what aspects of the employee experience we needed to create space for, but Katherine’s expertise in the organizational behavior/psychological space uncovered multiple issues with our form that we’d initially overlooked. For anyone building a product in the HR/DEI Tech world, bringing Katherine on to your team should be a no-brainer.

Katherine helped our growth-stage company to efficiently navigate a variety of organizational challenges. Her experience across organizational strategy and behavior, with SaaS tools for people and recruiting, and her ability to help us focus quickly on a set of solutions enabled us to consistently solve our toughest problems across the company.
— CEO/Founder, Hard Tech
During our consulting conversations, she really knew how to ask great questions that make you stop and think about the big picture of DEI and how your decisions will fit in your strategy. With her depth of knowledge and passion for the subject matter, she challenged us to create actual action items for our DEI initiative – not just things you say but do. We would highly recommend Katherine!
