For Leaders · Career Advisory
The role you want is closer than you think. Let's close the gap.
You stop second-guessing your positioning. You walk into interviews knowing exactly what you bring. You negotiate from confidence, not relief. That's what working with Kate makes possible.
20+ Years on the Hiring Side · 50+ VP+ Leaders Placed · Design · Product · Brand · Insider Intelligence · Not Generic Coaching
Who this is for

You already know you're capable of more.

You're applying to roles that are a genuine fit and not hearing back. Nothing is wrong with you. Something is wrong with your positioning.

You're getting into interviews and not advancing. You can feel it going well — and then the call doesn't come. Kate knows what's happening in that room after you leave.

You're a VP, Director, or senior leader in Design, Product, or Brand who has earned the next level and needs someone who knows this world to help you get there.

You want real insider intelligence — not generic coaching from someone who's never built a shortlist or seen what actually makes a decision-maker say yes.

Why Kate

You need someone who's been on the other side of that table.

Twenty years inside the hiring process — at McKinsey, JPMorgan Chase, Publicis Sapient, and beyond. Kate has built shortlists, sat in debrief rooms, and placed 50+ VP+ leaders in Design, Product, and Brand.

She knows what hiring managers say when you leave the room. She knows what gets a resume moved to the yes pile. She knows what the market is actually paying and how to negotiate an offer most people would have accepted the first time.

Kate works with a small number of leaders at a time — by choice. Because this work requires real attention, not a template.

"The leaders who work with me don't just land roles. They land the right role — and they walk in knowing exactly what they're worth."

The Insider Narrative
3 sessions · 90 days · Limited availability

For leaders who aren't in active search yet — but know the story needs to be right before they move. This is where we rebuild how you show up at the level you're targeting. We define your positioning, sharpen your story, and make sure it lands the way it should — so when you're ready to move, you're not starting from scratch.

  • Resume, LinkedIn, and portfolio positioned for the level you're targeting
  • Anchor statement, narrative framework, and recorded pitch
  • Decision matrix so you evaluate every opportunity from clarity, not fear

Full support
The Insider Navigator
5 sessions · 120 days · 2–3 clients at a time

For leaders with strong positioning who need full support executing the search. A search has a lot of moving pieces — and the cost of getting any one of them wrong is high. This is full search support, start to finish: strategy and outreach, interview prep and debrief, offer negotiation, and onboarding. Someone in your corner for the whole thing — not just the moments you think to ask about.

  • Kate-produced positioning brief before your search activates
  • Live prep before every interview round and debrief after
  • Offer evaluation and full negotiation support
  • Async access between sessions

The Insider Arc
8 sessions · Narrative + Navigator bundled · Limited availability

For leaders who need both — story and search, start to finish. We start with your narrative: positioning, story, how you're being read and how that changes. Then we move into the search itself — strategy, outreach, interviews, offers, and onboarding — with full support across every stage. This is the only engagement that takes you from unclear positioning to the right seat.

  • Full Insider Narrative — everything aligned before your search starts
  • Full Insider Navigator — real-time support through to signed offer
  • Story first, search second
