Katie is a consultant at Doblin, participating directly in research, analysis and synthesis to help craft concrete insights and direction for clients. She has worked with clients in industries such as healthcare, financial services, foodservice and nonprofit to enhance the experience of customers and derive entirely new businesses. Katie began her career at Doblin as a secondary researcher, delivering research and analysis to project teams, and continually uses her writing and research skills to enhance her role as a consultant.

Katie developed her core business strengths in financial services while working with Marcus Evans, a respected business information services company. Her five-month career in banking convinced her that understanding a subset of a transaction would not go far enough toward making life better for financial customers.

Katie holds a BA degree in political science and Spanish from the University of Notre Dame. She was born in Brazil and has lived in Germany and in Spain. When time allows, she tutors Spanish-speaking Chicagoans in English. Whatever time is left over is often absorbed by reading history and political biography.
