Justin (Lapidus) Silver
SVP of Marketing and Digital Products, Brooklinen
We worked together to rebuild our entire website from the ground up and looking back - without her guidance and expertise the project likely would have been an unmitigated disaster. Why? because Kate has a few things that make working with her great.
She’s built and honed processes to work across teams seamlessly, and she can speak just as easily to developers and CEOs. Bottom line: if you are running an ecommerce brand and want to take your business to the next level you need to work with Kate.”
“Kate is a thoughtful, strategic partner and more importantly an ecommerce expert.

Meredith McNeill
Senior Director of User Experience, Rothy’s
One of the biggest problems in product management is solving the wrong problem. Without empathy and a clear understanding of who your customer is and what they value and need, it becomes easy to work on the next cool feature leadership wants.
The pilot (made up of 3 cross functional projects) was a success and we ended up developing a product design process and practice that included both generative / strategic user testing (to discover what the next big opportunities are) as well as tactical research (to ensure that we could lower the risk of launching new features and functionality by testing prototypes with users before we invested in development - our most constrained resource.)”
“When Kate and I worked together at Rothy’s she was a key driver in implementing a user testing pilot project to prove the business value in deeply understanding customers.

Kate transformed our CRO practice from a theory to an active roadmap with high output and quantifiable outcomes in a matter of a couple short months. Her ability to get things done from idea through delivery is inspiring.
Kate gathered a nebulous tangle of ideas from across teams and formed them into an organized framework and strategy plan for the year. I’m amazed at how effortlessly she seemed to pull together a coherent plan that was comprehensive, actionable, and well articulated.”
