Strategic thinker, problem solver, trusted adviser, project manager - Kate wears multiple hats and is happiest when collaborating with local (and remote!) small businesses to dream, and achieve, big things.

The Project Collaborative was born from a career pivot after Kate became a first-time parent. TPC combines Kate’s academic and corporate skill sets with her natural drive and sense of responsibility to leave things better than how she found them. The result is a project management consultancy that leads with intention + integrity, and a co-founder-like level of commitment to impactful outcomes for clients.

Before launching TPC, Kate “grew up” in financial services, holding a number of human resources leadership and project manager roles at global firms based in New York. Recent roles include leading the Project Management Office for HR at BlackRock and serving as a Talent & Development Partner for corporate functions at JPMorgan Chase.

Kate is a proud Aularian and holds a MSc of Comparative & International Education from the University of Oxford, and a Bachelor degree in Spanish & Educational Studies from Colgate University. She enjoys cooking and traveling (even better when done together) and is perpetually scheming a return to homes away from home in the UK, Italy, and Spain.

Kate currently lives in CT where she is focused on the most important project of all - building a life with her husband and their children, Annie and George.

    “We can’t say enough good things about Project Collab! We brought Kate on board to help us solve for a specific task that was incredibly time consuming - and we got so much more! We initially asked Kate to streamline our internal processes so my team could focus on high potential business opportunities. Not only did she analyze the process she provided us with recommendations that we didn’t even consider. Kate developed a detailed process map, an onboarding questionnaire and created a “touch point” email automation timeline which has resulted in both a time savings and improved customer experience. My wedding team is no longer spending countless hours replying to general inquiry emails, instead, we are spending time on prescreened high-value proposals. We also have the peace of mind that our wedding clients are receiving the level of personalized communication at important milestones in the process that distinguishes Fresh Flower Bar. Kate is enthusiastic, hard working, insightful and a pleasure to work with. We cannot recommend her more highly!”

    “Kate is fantastic! She's worked with me on a wide range of projects – including strategic business development, project management, client services, and as a senior producer for complex multi-day productions – and has impressed me every time.She's extremely thorough, endlessly thoughtful about proactively handling the needs of the team and the project, and impeccably organized. She is always willing to learn (and quickly master) new tools based on the project, and I've trusted her with external client communications (an important component of my high-touch business model.) Kate is a go-to partner for me, and I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for executive support, operations strategy, and project management.”
