A champion of digital trust, Kathy brings cross-functional business and public policy perspectives in her data privacy and cybersecurity work. She is currently a global Privacy and Data Sovereignty Business Development Manager working within Amazon Web Services (AWS). She holds an MPA from Columbia University in the City of New York, and led the alumni association in Montreal.

As a Global Shaper, Kathy founded the "Inclusive Cyber" project in 2018. The team's innovative product identifies transferable skills from non-IT education disciplines and matches them to relevant cybersecurity roles. The project prioritises the mobilisation of marginalised talent who are underrepresented in IT degrees, and empowers them to find meaningful work in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The project was selected by Future of Good as Canada's Top 100 Recovery Projects (2020/2021) and has been featured by the United Nations, World Economic Forum Platform for Cybersecurity and Digital Trust, Salesforce's Trailhead Platform, the World Economic Forum Agenda and the Canadian Security Magazine.

She has previously worked in cybersecurity and privacy consulting, as well as public policy within International Organisations across Canada, the US, China and Switzerland. She served for 2 years as Deloitte's Project Committee delegate to CyberEco, a Canadian multi-sectorial organisation focused on developing cybersecurity solutions for everyday citizenry.
