Meet Kate

Head Strategist tending the grove.

Modern Renaissance Woman.

With over 10 years experience in building, experimenting for growth, optimizing processes, and growing business through thoughtful web development, marketing strategy, storytelling, optimizing processes, making more with less, or occasionally yelling at people from a stage (the professional one and the musical one)- Kate is a blend of skills and abilities that you don't find every day.

She's mentored & given workshops at Propel, spoken on stage at Atlantic Canada's first growth marketing conference, and worked the bustle (chaos) of high-growth startups for nearly a decade. Formally educated in Business Management & Marketing, and Web Development, a crowd-funded artist....she's a Swiss army knife of a human with a quick wit and an eye for overcoming challenges.

Real Talk Only:
We are not a match if radical candor is not your thing and you aren’t ready for someone to tell it like it is.
Your time is too valuable for the fluff.

What does working with Kate look like?
Growth-led growth.

Kate provides the framework and space for your company to grow its vision, mission, and identity, and then grow the business and KPIs that matter to the company's renewed direction.

I haven't met anybody more capable than Kate at asking questions that matter, and providing guidance at the most critical points in a company's evolution.

Kate has a resume with results that speak for themselves, but the best part about working with Kate? She's a rad human being, who can have instant impact on any project.

"I wish I'd reached out sooner"

I could have saved so much time, stress, and money if I'd only started working with Kate and the Growth Grove earlier. Better late than never!

You - From the Future

"Achieve your Goals with someone who truly cares"

When it comes to achieving your goals with someone who truly cares and excels in their field, Kate is the perfect choice.

Her dedication and expertise make working with her a pleasure, and I look forward to continued success together.

“Easy to work with and genuinely collaborative”

Time flies! It's hard to believe that Kate and I have worked together for over 8 years.

Her unique blend of technical, communication, and marketing skills made her the obvious choice to help our company leverage new and innovative growth marketing strategies. Kate continues to stay ahead of what comes next.

She brings fresh and unexpected ideas to the table. But beyond her smarts, she's super easy to work with and genuinely collaborative.
