I have worked with Kat for the last couple of years, in both her roles at Akkodis and as ISSA Marketing Director and she never fails to have a smile on her face, knowledge in her words and actions, and the true meaning of the word partner in her heart.

Kat and I have spent time strategizing, planning, and ultimately working together to solve complex real world problems. Kat understands what IT truly needs and knows how to make things happen quickly and efficiently. Kat listens to her clients, and then breaks down the problems for both the C-suite and the technicians, supporting them in clear and concise language, tailor made for her audience.

Kat is comfortable in the boardroom, bullpen, classroom, in front of an audience, and behind the scenes. She is ultimately valuable to her clients, co-workers, and the field of IT.
