About Kathie

I help business leaders transform their vision into commercial reality by building operational capability based on good governance and ethical practices.
As an operations specialist, I have 20 years' senior leadership and commercial experience across a range of industries including tech startups, coworking, health regulation and tourism. This background puts me at the intersection of technology and the services industry, giving me unique insights into how organisations can adopt emerging technologies to grow and acquire competitive advantage.
Known for challenging an organisation's ways of working, I help companies adapt to new technologies, unlock workforce capability and develop processes and policies that achieve profitable and socially responsible outcomes. These skills were key to my success, as Chief Shared Service Officer, leading Hub Australia through a critical period of growth and change. During this time Hub won the accolade of 15th Best Place To Work in Australia (under 100 employees).
Ethical business practices is a central principle of my leadership values. My work attaining and renewing certifications for Hub Australia in B Corp, Carbon Neutral and Great Place To Work demonstrates my commitment to driving financial success while being a good corporate citizen.
A Senior Executive MBA and Fellow of the Governance Institute of Australia, I bring best practice governance and risk management frameworks to life. With a wealth of knowledge and a penchant for action, I drive businesses to success by gaining stakeholder confidence, increasing business valuation and attracting high value transaction opportunities.
In my downtime, I proudly support regional tourism and indulge my passion for motorcycling by exploring the best roads in Australia on my Ducati SuperSport 937 - I find it the perfect way to practice mindfulness because there’s nothing quite like negotiating a twisty road on a high performance motorbike to help you live in the moment!
