About Katherine
Engineering Leadership Coach | From IC to Impact
Portland, United States - 3:52 am local time
With over 12 years in SaaS and 5 years managing high-performing engineering teams, I’ve seen the challenges that come with growing your career in tech—especially when transitioning from individual contributor to manager, or from manager to director. I’ve built and led teams in both startups and public companies, and I know what it takes to lead through change, deliver results, and build trust along the way.
I founded Embrace Change Consulting to support women in tech and emerging leaders who are ready to grow their influence, navigate transitions, and show up with confidence—without burning out.

* Building high-trust teams
* Managing up, across, and through complexity
🎯 My Approach:
My coaching blends deep listening with practical strategy. I meet you where you are, help you define where you want to go, and support you in taking confident steps forward. Whether you need a thought partner for a tough challenge or a structured program to build new skills, I’ll tailor our work to match your goals.
👩💻 My Background:
* 13+ years in software engineering
