Testimonials

“Kate worked with our non-profit organization to help us re-align our strategic priorities and initiatives.  Her expertise as a facilitator, her ability to pick up on nuance, and her natural curiosity led her to ask hard questions that inspired the team to approach our challenges differently.  She has been able to move us from ideation to action by crafting a strategic implementation plan and guiding us through its processes to help our organization move forward.”

—Allison Kilcoyne, President of MA School-based Health Alliance


“I hired Kate because she has a unique perspective to solving everyday problems as she is able to hold the practical, tactical details and the big picture and strategic considerations at the same time.  She has expertise in operations, finance and business strategy; lived experience in federally qualified health centers; and understands change management and the importance of compassion and humanism.  It is rare to find someone who will take a humanistic view to business and operations, but Kate understands the importance of engaging people, both in heart and mind, and building buy-in. 

As a CEO, I want to minimize the chaos and build stability within my organization so I can focus on fundraising, innovation, and new ways to meet our mission.  Having someone like Kate as a thought partner and coach is invaluable—she offers a safe space to bring ideas, helps think about business strategy, brings a creative and pragmatic viewpoint for how to stabilize day-to-day pain points; and provides sound, objective reflections and advice.  I can see that she believes in organizations with missions dedicated to helping people in society who need the most help and clearly sees how, while often under-resourced and non-optimized, they have an opportunity to iteratively strive for better.”

—Dr. Damian Archer, CEO of Outer Cape Health Services
