Founder and Partner at WestWave Capital; Former General Partner at Foundation Capital; 4-time startup CEO; Notable Investments - ForgeRock, Visier, Solo.io, ThetaLake, Secuvy, TugBoat Logic, Supply Chain SW Security start-up The Brennan Group brought a slate of new candidates to the search that we had never met before. Kate did a terrific job of understanding our company’s business, which enabled us to recruit the best person for the job. LinkedIn

CEO at Sandhill East; Board Member at Zscaler, Pure Storage, Digital Asset; CTO In Residence at Fintech Innovation Lab; Advisor at CYGNVS, Alphy, DoControl, Winn.Ai, and Cutover; Former Board at Guidewire & Moogsoft Kate recruited me to the board of Guidewire, which turned out to be a great fit for me, leveraging my experience in enterprise technology, fintech, m&a, and much more. I have known Kate since the early 2000s and she has always strived for, and delivered, excellence in every role I have seen her execute. In executive recruiting, she has found a career that allows her to use her unique blend of talents to help companies build stronger teams through different chemistry. I have referred Kate to a number of companies that I work with and had very good feedback on her ability to find candidates that others can’t, and to make sure the cultural fit is strong. LinkedIn

Board member at Big Panda, Sila Nanotechnologies Inc. & Medallia Inc.; Former Parametric Technology CEO & Chairman of the Board We hired Kate as a sales rep in 1992 at Parametric Technology (PTC). PTC has become known to cultivate some of the best CROs in the world. Make no mistake, those that survived, let alone thrived, in the early ’90s are the “300 Spartans” in the early evangelical days of cold calling. Kate was one of the few that cold-called CEOs versus Engineering leaders. She would get meetings no one else could. Her drive, fortitude, and grit made her the top performer, and she was one of the first women promoted to manage sales and engineers. She led from the front and her team was also the top-performing region. I would recommend her for any executive search with confidence. She can get to anyone not looking and will deliver the unrecruitable.” LinkedIn

Founder/Chairman of the Board at Visier; 17 yr Board Director Synopsys; 14 yr Board Director Teradata; 13 yr Chairman Avast Software; Former Executive Board Director SAP & Board SuccessFactors; Former Symantec President & COO The Brennan Group acted for Visier in the recent hiring of a Chief Marketing Officer. We are very pleased with the outcome and appreciated Kate’s strong sense of urgency, her constant follow-up, and her focus on results. She produced a very credible list of candidates and managed the project to a fast and successful result. I would recommend Kate’s firm to any high-tech company looking to grow and develop their organization.Linkedin
