​

Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Akamai:

“Kathy is an amazing marketing professional. She is driven, passionate and extraordinarily skilled in her craft. Kathy empowers her teams to achieve, “think big” and “think different” in everything they do. Her experience and background are a true asset to any organization looking for a marketing leader.”​

​

Chief Growth Officer, healthcare technology company:

“Kathy's priorities were to build our brand, help align and mentor a marketing team that was highly distributed (Europe and across time zones in the U.S.), establish an effective demand gen program and build a strong partnership with the growing sales organization. She succeeded on all fronts. In particular Kathy maintained an exceptional relationship with the sales team and earned the trust and respect of her inherited marketing team. Kathy is strategic, results-oriented and an asset to any organization or project. I have had the opportunity to work with Kathy at two different companies and I hope to have one again!”

 

CEO, Lead Gen Vendor:

“As the key point of contact for our relationship, Kathy was an excellent partner. She was candid, responsive and fair when working together on our program. It is unique that our our point of contact for a program can establish the strategic objectives while also having the detail-oriented wherewithal to follow-thru on the tactical elements to help us be successful. Kathy delivered - consistently. Kathy is a well-rounded marketing executive with deep core competency in healthcare. Our work would not have been successful without her leadership and partnership.”

 

Founder, digital agency:

“I worked with Kathy on a re-branding and service launch, including a new public web site. Kathy is one of those team leaders that makes everything she does look effortless, smoothly guiding a group to consensus, getting the right stakeholders present and engaged, keeping the group and the project focused and on track.” 

 

CEO, e-Commerce software:

“Of all the marketing professionals I've worked with, Kathy is superior. In a very competitive, challenging market Kathy was able to draw a significant amount of attention to our company and its products.  Many of the awards and recognition bestowed on us was the direct result of Kathy's efforts.  She is also an expert in developing and maintaining great relationships with key research analysts.  When I first met Kathy in an interview, it took me all of about 10 minutes to determine she was the best candidate.  For the next four years we enjoyed many good times (some bad), but Kathy always maintained a bright outlook and performed her job superbly, whether she contributed work as an individual, managed her team to a goal, or coordinated a cross-functional group.”

 

Direct report, software company:

“As a Product Marketing Manager, I grew an incredible amount under Kathy. She took the lead on managing almost every aspect of a highly complex, incredibly challenging Health Tech space. She has a knack for identifying key skills and delegating work to the best groups, resulting in quick and effective teams.”

 

Director colleague, software company:

“I witnessed Kathy move the company from a technology-focused marketing message to an elevated and distinguished the brand in a crowded market by focusing on the emotional and personal impact to end users.” - Director, Colleague
