How we work together.

Most companies don't need — or can't justify — a full-time executive with Fortune 500 transformation experience. Now you can access that depth fractionally.

Katharine embeds as your Fractional Chief Transformation & Operations Officer to fix the root causes behind missed outcomes: strategy execution gaps, delivery bottlenecks, AI implementation failures, and operating model dysfunction. She works alongside your leadership team, diagnoses what's actually broken (not just what it looks like), and builds the systems, accountability structures, and execution rhythms that deliver results — and keep delivering after she's gone.

70% of corporate transformations fail. Not because the strategy was wrong, but because the execution system couldn't carry it.

Drawing on transformation work inside Fortune 100 organizations — including a 10,000+ person technology organization — Katharine brings the operating discipline of the world's best-run enterprises to your context. Whether you're shipping software, hardware, or both, she diagnoses where flow breaks down, where decisions stall, and where effort is being wasted — then builds the systems that fix it.

Most Agile training produces certificates, not capability. Katharine's training is different — it's delivered by an SPC with hands-on experience applying SAFe in hardware, firmware, and software environments, including defense programs.

Teams, product managers, engineers, and executives learn frameworks they can actually use the following week. Available in-person, virtual, or on-site.

Most AI investments fail to scale — not because of the technology, but because of missing governance, accountability, and execution infrastructure. People aren't opposed to AI; they're uncomfortable with it. Those are two entirely different problems requiring two different strategies.

Katharine has enabled AI adoption across 300+ employees with measurable ROI achieved within 3 months. She builds the operating system your AI strategy needs: governance frameworks, accountability rhythms, and delivery structures that turn automation investments into real business outcomes.

Most organizations treat product management as a delivery coordination role. The companies winning in hardware-software convergence, smart manufacturing, and industrial technology treat it as a general management role — owning strategy, P&L, customer relationships, and continuous discovery.

Katharine helps leadership teams redesign the product operating model: from requirement-takers to outcome-owners. Drawing on Continuous Discovery Habits, OKRs, lean startup design thinking, and Flow Metrics, she builds the practices that shift product teams from activity-based to outcome-based — with the data infrastructure to prove it.
