Kate is a special executive recruiter, very thorough and strategically minded. I have been both a candidate and a client of hers over the years. She recently placed me as the CEO of InsurTech SaaS company BriteCore, and we subsequently retained her to find our world-class CRO. Her personal, national network of tech GTM leaders, CEOs, and board members are of the highest quality. As a former software sales executive herself, she has a unique ability to connect with top executives who are not actively looking.

One of Kate’s most powerful attributes is that she will look beyond the job specification to smoke out candidates’ work ethic, character, and team fit.  She is very direct and will tell it like she sees it.

Kate is extremely thorough. She spends considerable time proactively educating herself on the company, portfolio, and position. She pre-qualifies candidates using an intense and proprietary process to ensure that the individual is qualified for the role. When she pitches the role to potential candidates, she is usually as good as or better than someone on the executive team. This enables her to bring top candidates who are not only qualified but a strong cultural fit.

I have worked with dozens of top recruiters from boutiques to very large firms and can confidently say that Kate is in the elite class. She is very connected and will always deliver.
