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”.
