Kate (she/they) is a CEO coach, venture capitalist, and author based in Silicon Valley. Her work focuses on activating agency and helping people be more connected, strategic, and hopeful. She strives to help everyone she interacts with - readers, clients, and friends - to process difficult realities with grace.

An expert in fear-based leaders, Kate developed her methodology growing up in a personal fear-based regime, then refined her approach in the elite worlds of startups, private equity, management consulting, and big tech. Her greatest wish is that people facing bullies in the world know that they are not alone, and that they are more powerful than they realize. 

Her coaching practice works primarily with mission-driven, underrepresented startup CEOs, and her writing, both non-fiction and comedy, focuses on equipping people with the skills they need to live their best lives, and on helping the world feel more warm and human. 

In Kate’s free time, you can find her writing music and comedy specials, exploring the local food scene, and cuddling her service dog, Annie.
