“Working with Kate at Amazon was one of the highlights of my career. We built a new product & business line from the ground up, and she was the kind of leader who could navigate strategy, partnerships, operations, and more with thoughtfulness and clarity — all while driving real impact and results. What really sets Kate apart, though, is how she leads. She sets a high bar and pushes for excellence, yet leads with genuine kindness, empathy, and trust. She gives her team space to grow, challenges you to think bigger, and always has your back. I feel lucky to have worked with her and to call her both a mentor and a friend.”
