Her expertise is characterized by a broad cross-sector reach, advising organizations ranging from FTSE 250 and listed companies to private equity-backed businesses and government departments. Katy’s career is distinguished by her deep roots in executive research and project management. Before joining Inzito in 2023, she served as the Head of Research for TMT at The Barton Partnership, a B-Corp certified firm known for its strategy and transformation focus. Prior to that, she spent 15 years at Directorbank, a specialist in the Private Equity mid-market.
