About

Hey there! I'm Kat and I'm currently the sole Product Lead at an Aussie tech start-up/scale-up that straddles Digital Retail, eComm & FinTech. Prior to that I spent over 4 years at a large Australian retail company, playing in the consumer apps space that served millions of B2C customers everyday. I've built and led product teams, developed product strategies and shipped products to market across start-up, scale-up and large enterprise environments.

Before diving into the tech scene, I started my career in Institutional Finance & Banking, which gave me a solid foundation in understanding complex systems and customer needs. I "fell" into the world of product 8 years ago when I joined a FinTech start-up, and I've been through a few tough years myself as I tried to find my footing as a product manager with zero technical background.

What I wish I had back then was someone I could ask for candid and honest advice to help me navigate this entirely new career path and finding out my personal angle in succeeding in the Product discipline.

If you are new to Product - I can help you with a career transition into the field, or if you just want to learn more more about what a career in Product management is like. If you are early in your Product career, I can help with product-specific expertise, execution and thinking - tailored to your job situation, and help you elevate your impact and your brand in your workplace.

I'm incredibly approachable, incredibly honest, and incredibly fun. Let's connect if my style strikes the right chord with you.
