Katie is a marketing executive who has spent her career building the things brands didn’t know they needed until they did – social teams, influencer programs, content operations, intelligence functions, and the technology underneath all of it. A background in media shaped her core belief: reach is earned through relevance, not bought through spend.
At AT&T, she’s building the entire social function from the ground up – strategy, content, influencer, engagement, technology, governance, and intelligence – under one connected system rather than a patchwork of channels.
She leads from the conviction that social is the foundation of brand, not a support channel for it – the place where identity gets stress-tested in real time and where the gap between what a company says and how it actually shows up becomes impossible to hide. The brands winning right now are the ones who truly understand their customer and move at the speed of culture, showing up in the feed the way a friend would.
