Tap into a reproducible management style that unlocks the potential of your engineers while staying true to wider business objectives.
I'm an engineering leader who literally wrote the book on remote for technical teams. At Buffer, I scaled the engineering team from to 40+ engineers today, and built a world class remote culture. I've written and spoken extensively about engineering leadership, with two books from O'Reilly - one management, one technical. I'm a self-taught engineer, with a masters degree in Management from the London School of Economics.
Most of all, I love it when you flourish.
As VP of Engineering at Buffer, I empower each individual on my team to grow and flourish as the main path to excellence, which ultimately leads to achieving business goals.
Buffer is a mission-driven B2B SaaS service for marketing teams. I built out the engineering org from ~15 to 40+ awesome people today, serving a product with 8 million users and 75,000 remarkable brands.
With over eight years of experience, I’ve developed specialized skills in leadership and remote-working alongside a keen business acumen. Speak to me today about how I can unlock your engineering team for scale, growth, and performance.
Engineering leadership isn’t about code. It’s about people who code. Over the course of my career, I’ve witnessed too many teams fall behind on the product without proper guidance, management, growth plans, and business goals.
So, I found a way to resolve that - and you can too. Learn how to tap into the intrinsic motivations of your people and organize a high-performing team that operates like clock-work.
My advisory and coaching services are designed to help you set up for success.

Bring a unique perspective to your next panel or spotlight event. When technology is moving at break-neck speed, it stands to reason that the people who work with that technology need to adapt and perform on the fly.
Let me tell compelling stories about how engineering leadership is best achieved through the mind and heart first, then code last.

Katie was a pleasure to work with and open to a collaborative approach to ensure her session would resonate with our event attendees. Would bring Katie back as a speaker in a heartbeat!
Katie's vision for building a cohesive engineering team has made a huge difference for Buffer; we are healthier, more inclusive, more organized because of her. I've learned so much from her with the way she leads by example with 1:1s, feedback, reviews, career frameworks. She sets the standard for me in how a manager should be.
Katie has tremendous energy, focus and determination. I was in awe with her mindset and her ability to understand organizational and people challenges quickly. I found myself trusting her intuition and judgement and I can't think of any decision that she made that turned out to be a wrong one
