Really Strong Recommendations

"Katharine brings such curiosity, authenticity and thinking-outside-the-box to every engagement. I love working with and brainstorming with her. And with clients, she brings the same energy and drive. What an amazing leader!"  -Executive Leader at Salesforce

"I strongly and without reservation recommend Katharine Kennedy, an exceptional executive leader whose impact in the tech industry is truly remarkable. Having had the privilege of working closely with Katharine, I’ve witnessed firsthand her ability to forge enduring partnerships with other tech companies, built on a foundation of trust, collaboration, and shared vision. Her strategic approach to relationship-building not only drives mutual success but also sets a high standard for meaningful industry connections.

Katharine’s collaborative spirit shines through in every project she undertakes, fostering environments where teams thrive and innovation flourishes. As a senior executive speaker at major industry events, she commands attention with her insightful perspectives and ability to inspire diverse audiences. Her leadership is equally impressive—Katharine leads with clarity, empathy, and a forward-thinking mindset, consistently guiding her teams to achieve ambitious goals.

Katharine’s dedication to excellence and her ability to navigate complex challenges make her an invaluable asset to any organization. I have no doubt she will continue to elevate her professional presence and make significant contributions to the tech landscape.

- Executive at Microsoft

"I think most CEO's would agree that surrounding themselves with people who not only take the time to understand their company challenges but actually pull together people would can actually execute to solve those challenges, is absolute critical. Katharine not only took the time to listen to me and my team, but also went the extra step by taking us strategically deep into her organization to ensure our challenges were solved with solutions specific to our needs. Katharine's ability to comprehend strategy, break it down into its relevant components, and work collectively, and individually, with her firm and our team to find solutions was remarkable. Katharine's constant communication, great follow up, ability to listen (which is so important), execution and generally just being a great person, gave us great confidence to build a long term, highly profitable relationship with her and her firm. I would recommend Katharine to any executive team looking to take their "relationship" business model to the next level, or redefine it. Katharine's dedication to her customers is the best I have ever experienced, and I can promise it creates long lasting commitments."

-Fortune 100 CEO

Katharine is a rare strategic partner who truly understands the power of win-win collaboration. During our collaboration between Microsoft and ServiceNow innovation initiatives, I saw how Katharine transforms individual initiatives into collective organizational wins. Her ability to identify synergistic connections is impressive—she connected me to valuable opportunities and connections, amplified our work across her networks, creating visibility we couldn’t have achieved alone.

What sets Katharine apart is her strategic vision for partnership building. She doesn’t just make introductions; she orchestrates meaningful relationships that benefit everyone involved. Her energy, innovation-minded approach to collaboration has opened doors to networks that have been instrumental in advancing our joint initiatives.

Katharine has this remarkable ability to see potential partnerships where others only see transactions, consistently creating value that drive mutual success.
