Founder, Chairman & Chief Scientist at Matrixx Software; Former SVP at Oracle; Founder, Former CEO & CTO at Portal Software We recently worked with Kate to recruit a key executive within our leadership team. Because the position plays a vital role in the growth of our company, it was imperative that we had a robust pool of candidates. From day one, Kate was prepared. She went the extra mile to form a complete understanding of the position, our needs from the candidate, and our company culture. From Kate’s vast network of connections, she presented us with several qualified candidates within a few short weeks. Each candidate understood our goals, appreciated our vision, and had already completed a thorough vetting process. In addition to her professionalism and resources, she is accessible, trustworthy, and respected throughout the industry. LinkedIn

CEO & Board Director at BriteCore; Former President at Quartic.ai;

Former President, COO & Board Director at Reflektion; Former President & COO at Virtana 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 is 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 as 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 in 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. LinkedIn

Chief Product Officer at Vitech Systems Group; Former Product Strategist at CVC Capital Partners; Former Chief Product Officer at Guidewire Software

Sr. Advisor & former President/COO at Guidewire Software; Board at Xerox, Waystar, Veeva Systems & Ethos Life; Former Board at Human API, Vonage, ContractRoom & Trov I have the pleasure of working with Kate on two recent executive searches. She was able to fill the positions in the company in a very short period of time. Not only the assignment was completed with flying colors, I am thrilled to have met someone so unique and impressive in what she does. Due to her background in sales, she is able to bring a fresh perspective in recruiting. Rather than following the usual procedures, her approach is very creative and out-of-the-box. Rather than using the standard ‘recruiting tools’, she tabs into her wide network of contacts. She identifies candidates through solid recommendations from investors (board members, VCs, PEs), and former managers/colleagues/subordinates. LinkedIn
