Kate is the Founder & CEO of Fair HQ, deeply driven by the convergence of pioneering science and technology with the evolving needs of the private capital sector. Her journey is fueled by a vision to unleash the power of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) as catalysts for transformative change and unparalleled financial success.

With a background in HR, Kate’s commitment lies in empowering private equity firms & VCs to fully leverage DEI’s potential. Through Fair HQ’s innovative platform, she offers real-time insights, actionable guidance, and streamlined reporting, elevating DEI from a mere buzzword to a strategic business imperative that delivers tangible, measurable outcomes.

Her previous company, SheWins.co, focused on reducing the gender pay gap while empowering women to negotiate effectively. With renowned clients such as Sky, Spotify, Dell, PwC, and Deliveroo (all inbound), Kate recognized a fundamental truth: diversity and inclusion cannot improve solely through individual efforts. Rather, they are systemic issues that require comprehensive solutions from the companies themselves.

This venture marks Kate’s fourth in the business world. She began her career as a Head of HR, leading her team to an acquihire by a Silicon Valley startup. Her previous company, SheWins.co, focused on reducing the gender pay gap while empowering women to negotiate effectively.
