  • “Throughout the process, Kate brought genuine curiosity and respect to the process, and her outsider perspective led to greater clarity internally. Kate understands how to dig down in a kind and understanding manner to uncover underlying reasons and feelings, and seek to address those rather than merely surface concerns.

    Having a sound foundation of respect, understanding of our skills and opportunities to develop, and a collaborative approach to building strategy have made further updates and changes much less complicated and difficult than they would have otherwise been.

    If you are looking for a big picture person with a keen appreciation for detail to understand your business and align your contributors across the business for individual and team investment and action, we could not recommend Kate more highly.”

  • “I had the privilege of collaborating with Intent Strategy at a critical juncture for our firm. Kate contributed significantly to the professional development of our team by introducing new competencies that aligned our contributors around a common goal. This alignment not only encouraged individual investment but also led to collaborative action, propelling us towards achieving our strategic objectives.

    Kate was instrumental in our efforts to not only help develop our [confidential product], but also at the same time create a real-time use case with one of our key clients. She approached our team with a fresh perspective with respect and deep curiosity for the expertise of our talent, which fostered trust and strong relationships among team members.”

  • “At a pivotal point in our business growth, Kate stepped in as a strategic leader who crystalized our actionable vision for the future of our culture, teams and spaces.

    Kate’s expertise allowed us to surface and differentiate between user needs and wants, and through her deep understanding, she was able to incorporate our feedback seamlessly, yet elevated and artfully, into a well-communicated strategy.

    Kate was a trusted advisor, partner, and representative at all levels of the business, from individual employees through C-suite executives. Kate’s working style is flexible, collaborative, and communicative, and she would reliably speak up to ensure I had the right level of context to make informed decisions.”

  • “Kate consistently brings an enthusiasm and curiosity to client engagement and business challenges that results in high quality, unique, clear strategies.

    She has an exceptional talent for communication and building understanding across all facets of a business, quickly understanding client requirements and intentions.

    Kate has built a strong reputation for establishing creative solutions across disciplines, clear expectations, her direct approach, and collaborating and co-creating with complex business and consultant groups.

    Kate has been an invaluable asset in both future business and workplace investment strategies and I look forward to future collaborations.”
