Katie did a fabulous job of chairing a handful of fireside chats organised for our investors, interviewing numerous founders and partners about a wide range of tech and finance topics. Her meticulous preparation in the lead up to the event brought out the best from all speakers involved, ensuring the discussions hit the perfect tone for our audience.
Our panel required deft chairing. It was a job Katie did with great aplomb, setting the context for the discussions, bringing in the speakers at the right moments for them to make useful contributions. Her experience as a broadcast journalist was certainly brought to bear, as she adeptly kept the conversation flowing, while ensuring it also remained focused and engaging. Katie was a consummate professional, a pleasure to work with, and someone we would love to work with again in the future.
Your contribution and insights were invaluable, and we are very grateful that you were able to take time out of your busy schedule to be with us.
