MEET THE TEAM DRIVING EXCELLENCE,

one strategy at a time.

While leading teams, Kate couldn’t help but notice recurring themes, principles and learnings that applied to each business as they developed expertise within their product management, engineering, UX/UI, data-centered insights teams. Inspired by this discovery, Kate founded Flywheel Strategy: a vehicle to introduce and integrate these learnings and practices more broadly to businesses that are focused on sustainable success, faster.

Drawing on Kate’s background in e-commerce goods and services, Flywheel creates scalable solutions that empower teams to shape the what, why and how for new features within companies that regularly appear on Best Of lists for Forbes, Times, and Fast Company.

Her self-confessed obsession with post-it notes is rivaled only by her passion for visiting new places around the world (7 continents, 50 countries and counting!). With 18 years of experience in the digital space at Ancestry, Rothy’s, Brooklinen, and Our Place, Kate specializes in blending the voice of the customer, data insights and marketplace opportunities to create streamlined roadmaps for high-growth organizations.
