John Thorpe, Director Brand Strategy Goodby Silverstein & Partners
"Kate has worked with GS&P for a number of years and is partly to blame for how I came to work at the agency in the first place. She has an instinct for agency cultures and has consistently placed the right people here. Perhaps more than anything else, Kate is a heat-seeking missile for talent and is unstoppable in her pursuit of the 'fit' between caliber, personality and opportunity." June 2010
Scott Hattis, Strategist Naked New York
"Kate is incredibly passionate in her work, and will never shy to lay out the truth and tell you what to do with your life. Her understanding of the industry is paramount - she has an excellent sense of the change that's taking place in the marketing world, and how each agency is evolving as a result. She's a partner you'll be very thankful to have" June 2010
Mark Barden, Partner Eat Big Fish.
“I've worked with Kate since 1994. Kate is very smart and lovely. And she gets it. Knows how to create a good fit and knows pretty much everyone, so odds are she will find someone for you, or find you someone.” April, 2008
Claudine Cheever, Executive Planning Director Saatchi & Saatchi New York
“I've worked with Kate since 2003, both in managing my own career and in helping me
find talent. She's always my first choice for both. She has an
incredible eye for the most interesting, creative, smart people. She
understands what you're looking for not just for an individual
position, but for the needs of the whole department and company. I've
never met any recruiter so interested in the "big picture." She's got a
phenomenal business mind and understanding of what makes people tick.
Hire her to fill a position, but really hire her to turn a department
around.” June, 2009
Domenico Vitale
“I always loved working with Kate. She is able to understand what a company truly needs and marries the best candidates fro a specific job. I think she is one of the best in this business and I trust her well beyond just trying to find a good planner. She gets what we do and how we should do it. A complete pro and over the years someone I personally enjoy and who has always been there for me.” June, 2007
William Charnock, Chief Strategy Officer, R/GA.
“I've worked with Kate since 1996. She has helped me find some of the best people in the business. She knows everyone worth knowing... She gets our business and what we are looking for and knows how to get the right talent to meet us...after that, it's up to us.” May, 2009
Graceann Irvine Bennet, Managing Partner, Director of Strategic Planning, Ogilvy Chicago.
“I've worked with Kate since 1994. Kate has great instincts as a recruiter and really "gets it." She doesn't mess around with sub-par planners or agencies -- she makes it her business to know the best people and positions. I've worked with her for nearly all my career in advertising and trust her judgment, am impressed with her creativity, and simply like working with her.” February 2008
Rachel Gaunt Founder, Unfurl Executive Coaching
"I've known and worked with Kate since 1993. Kate is one of a kind. Smart, professional and extremely likable, she has a knack for understanding business that comes from her
fearlessness in asking the right questions and making sure she gets the
whole picture. People trust Kate. They trust her because she tells them
the truth, not what they want to hear. As a result she has developed a
reputation based on integrity and effectiveness and is sought out by
companies worldwide who want to work with her.” June 2004
