Leadership

Kate loves nothing more than sizing up a sensitive and complicated situation where there are many different interests and views, and then creating a strategy and work programme that will achieve real change.

Kate is an expert at developing strategy and then turning that into action. Senior leaders trust her to give them honest advice and then make things happen. Along the way, Kate makes sure stakeholders of all types feel they have a voice and are part of shaping change.

Kate has worked on several large organisational change programmes, including some resulting from government inquiries. As well as senior roles here in Aotearoa, she has worked in Australia and the UK.

Examples of Kate's work

  • Developing and implementing a gender pay gap toolkit for the Ministry for Women, so that organisations in all sectors would have a common method and easy online tool for calculating the pay gap
  • Developing a long-term intergenerational strategy for the Royal Society | Te Apārangi, including a broad engagement process, to ensure it continued to be relevant in a rapidly changing world
  • Developing a relationship-management model at the Ministry for the Environment to improve relationships, coordination, and oversight, and avoid inconsistency and duplication.
