What I Do
I help organizations that do good in the world.
Whether it’s brand, community, customer experience, go-to-market, marketing (all of the sub-categories!), operations, organization & team design, or simply sorting out the technology that’s behind it all… I help business and non-profit leaders refine their strategies, and scale their impact.
Thanks to 17 years in Silicon Valley at both small, technology startups and household name brands, and a whole lot of inner work, I’ve got a Jill-of-all-trades skillset that can be uniquely deployed to support anything you throw my way. I’ve also got a Bachelor’s degree in International Relations from San Francisco State University, and an Executive MBA from Quantic School of Business and Technology.

How I WorkSunny disposition. Sharp pencil.
I’m an air sign. (Aquarius sun, IYKYK.) That means I’m curious, collaborative, and rooted in community. I’m deeply humanitarian, and known for my creative, out-of-the-box way of thinking. My POV is there’s always a way to get to “yes.”
Most of my clients come to me at an inflection point. It might be a new role, a hard quarter, a team that's almost-but-not-quite, or perhaps a fresh start after someone else’s messy exit. Whatever it is, I get specific, fast. And I get to work.
What People Say
Renee’ Mowatt
Sr Manager, Community Activation, adidas
“Caty has a rare ability to translate big, executive-level thinking into clear direction for her team, consistently grounding the work in a strong sense of purpose. She’s incredibly smart, but also deeply supportive and intentional about developing the people around her. She creates an environment where you feel both supported and pushed to be better. I’m super grateful for my time on Caty's team. She’s had a lasting impact on how I think about leadership and how I show up in my work today.”
Thomas Reem
Community Support, Figma
“Caty taught me that clarity is a form of courage—one of her mantras, ‘if it isn’t a hell yes, it’s a no,’ still guides how I navigate ambiguity today. As a gay man, I had spent a lot of my early career shrinking myself, staying small, not wanting to stand out. Caty changed that. She created space where I felt genuinely safe to show up as my full self, and then pushed me to use that confidence to speak up, contribute bigger ideas, and see my own potential more clearly. She built Seller Community from zero, brought our team into real storytelling and reporting work that influenced product decisions, and invested in each of us as humans, not just headcount. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her, and I don’t think that’s an overstatement.”
Brittney Aston
Sr. Community Manager, Spektrix
“Caty is a leader who genuinely cares about her team as people, not just employees. She provided clear direction, challenged me in the right ways, and consistently had my back. She was quick to remove roadblocks, which helped me move faster and work more efficiently. She also has a strong ability to build high-performing teams that collaborate well and support each other.”
