Kate joined Ricardo plc as Legal Director in Autumn 2023. She has previously undertaken various legal leadership roles across start-up, scale-up, multinational and global environments and was listed on the GC Powerlist in 2021. She relishes the opportunity to champion the impact of legal innovation and technology and act as a legal disruptor by challenging outdated legal sector norms to create best-in-class legal functions. Kate is also passionate about diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) and social mobility - particularly in the context of diversifying the legal profession and enhancing a sense of belonging for every intersection of society. She recognises the plague of imposter syndrome in the legal community and regularly mentors junior lawyers and facilitates #IAmRemarkable workshops to initiate an open and honest conversation and help people take steps to overcome imposter syndrome by teaching them some of the skills required within the #IAmRemarkable framework.
