Hi, I'm Kat.
I'm an Operator and Advisor to mission-driven companies.
What I do
Operator
I'm a founding team member of Great Yellow, where I lead Operations and grow our team and processes with purpose.
Great Yellow enables the funding and running of nature restoration at scale. Greatyellow.earth
Consultant & Advisor
I support mission-driven startups as they pilot, build and scale. As your team grows and evolves, I can help you stay calmly focussed on the priorities by developing fit-for-purpose program governance. Think strategic roadmapping, streamlined meeting cadence and program oversight, KPI and responsibility alignment, and templates for executing projects with ease.
Recent clients:
- Climate Action and Campaign Platform (Non-profit)
- Cloud-based Quantum Computing (IPO)
- AI Developer Platform (Series C)
- Healthcare Marketplace (Series B)
- Uber (Public)
Investor
I back founders with grounded visions and big hearts, especially those building in climate tech, solving problems in the physical world or being beautifully inspired by the natural world.
About me
I help impactful ideas ideas take root and grow. That means designing the systems, rhythms, and cultures that enables teams to do meaningful work, iteratively and with less friction.
I lead operations at Great Yellow, where we’re building the tools to finance nature restoration. I'm also a consultant, advisor, and angel investor.
Career background
Before Great Yellow, I built and scaled programs at Uber and Deloitte. At Uber, I led cross-functional teams to launch and grow new products across EMEA markets including Freight, Jump e-bikes/micromobility, and Uber for Business. I worked across Customer Support, Operations and People, managing programs from scrappy pilots to those with hundreds of employees. Earlier in my career at Deloitte Consulting, I focussed on M&A and change management, learning from a team of experts advising executives and leaders through complex organisational shifts.
Interests
I’m passionate about scaling impactful technology in the physical world, especially with positive social and environmental impact. I’m interested in the messy middle: the gap between vision and execution where things get real. That’s where I do my best work.
I'm happiest when I'm hiking in mountains, practising yoga and meditating on the big questions. Being in big landscapes reminds me of perspective and interconnectivity.
After having worked in San Francisco and London, I now live in Amsterdam and work with clients globally.
