    Marketing leadership experience

Hi, I’m Katie.

I step into marketing leadership when life pulls a trusted leader away and the business cannot afford for their momentum to stall.

For more than 20 years, I’ve carried strategy, relationships, and teams through parental leave and critical absences, the moments where momentum quietly erodes if no one senior is holding the line.

I’m not extra help.
I’m executive coverage with judgment, context, and accountability.

✓ This Work is Personal

I’ve lived these transitions and led others through them. I know how much hinges on what happens while someone is out and how hard it is to undo the damage when it’s handled poorly.

✓ Here’s what I know to be true:

Companies that get this right keep their best people, protect performance, and come back stronger.
Companies that don’t spend months cleaning it up.

I help leaders maintain clarity, stability, and trust through high-stakes transitions so nothing slips and no one loses ground.

You don’t need me often.
You need me when it matters most.

Parental and medical leave expose gaps most marketing organizations don’t see until it’s too late: unclear ownership, stalled decision-making, burned-out teams, and returning leaders forced to clean up avoidable messes.

✓ I built a system to prevent that.

  • Created a marketing continuity framework specifically for parental and medical leave.

  • Designed coverage plans for teams ranging from lean to complex organizations.

  • Coverage model addresses strategy, execution, and people leadership.

  • Developed to protect performance during leave and accelerate re-entry.

This isn’t interim help. It’s executive-level continuity.

✓ Leave shouldn’t cost people their careers or companies their momentum.

I’ve seen what happens when leave is treated like a temporary inconvenience instead of an operational reality.

Work piles up. Decisions stall. Teams drift. Returning leaders are handed chaos and expected to recover quiety.

That’s not sustainable for people or performance.

✓ 52% of parental leaves result in team burnout, often causing stalled projects or missed goals
