From Hotel Floors to
Boardroom  Doors

I’ve worn many hats (including a hotel manager’s and a private investigator’s!), but one thing has always driven me: people. From hospitality to HR, across continents and industries, I’ve made it my mission to help individuals and teams thrive.

 

With over 25 years of experience, a suitcase full of qualifications, and a knack for turning workplace challenges into success stories - I’m here to help your people power up.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE HR CONSULTANT

I’m all about real results with a human touch!

My approach

People first – always.


My approach to HR is built on empathy, clarity, and real-world experience. I don’t believe in cookie-cutter solutions. Every team, challenge, and culture is unique – so I listen first, ask smart questions, and tailor my work to what you truly need. Whether I’m coaching a manager, resolving a sticky situation, or designing a people strategy, I bring calm, insight, and just the right amount of challenge to spark change and build confidence.

​

I'm here to help you cut through the noise, focus on what matters, and create a work environment where your people (and your business) can thrive.

Why work with me

Because you want someone who gets it.

 

With 25+ years across three countries, I’ve seen the inside of corporates, fast-paced private companies, and everything in between. I blend big-picture thinking with practical, on-the-ground HR know-how. I'm direct when needed, supportive always, and I bring humour and heart to even the toughest situations.

​

I’m not here to complicate things – I’m here to help you move forward. Whether you need advice, a coach in your corner, or hands-on support, I bring calm, clarity, and proven tools to get results.

"Working with Kate is totally non-judgmental. She has infectious enthusiasm, but in a genuine way.​ Kate is a straight shooter, no bullshit, and pushed back but in a safe / non-judgmental way which was great."
