Katie’s very impressive CV boasts a wealth of leadership experience and game-changing innovation in the media industry gained from working at large corporates and at a successful startup. 

Having joined Hearst UK in December 2022 from Tortoise Media (which she co-founded in 2018) Katie was previously President and Chief Customer Officer of Dow Jones, where she helped build and lead The Wall Street Journal’s successful online membership-based business. She also held senior positions at The Telegraph Media Group and The Times.  

Katie’s leadership philosophy stems from thinking of her team and organisation as a family:  

I call it a work family because I think that there’s a safety that you have in a family environment. Let’s talk about healthy families rather than dysfunctional families, but let’s assume you are in a family environment. People have your back. You’re together on things”. 

Come and hear more about this and other words of wisdom from this purpose-driven, visionary CEO as she discusses her leadership journey, the ups and downs of her career and then it’s over to you, you get to ask the questions you always wanted to know the answer to, so do your research and come prepared! 

This session is all about: 

  • Insights and perspectives from this remarkable CEO that will help inform your own leadership journey 
  • An energising and inspirational event which will arm you with fresh thoughts and ideas to take back to the office right away 
  • The opportunity for shared learning with fellow members
