As a teacher, Katy is committed to preparing students for the complex realities of consulting work, managing uncertainty, imagining and creating the future, and working in effective teams. As a consultant, she is passionate about working with clients to achieve measurable results and build capacity for greater performance improvement and strategic change. As a person, she is a student of wellbeing and happiness, the evolution of human consciousness, the flourishing of our highest potential, creativity, and sustainability.
Prior to joining Ivey as an Assistant Professor, Katy served as an Executive in Residence, mentoring student teams on their consulting projects.
Before that she spent ten years as a management consultant, and later partner, at Robert H. Schaffer and Associates in Stamford, CT. There, she worked with organizations in the healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and mining industries, on a range of strategy, performance improvement, and leadership development projects. She has extensive experience in helping companies integrate their acquisitions, and loves working with clients to navigate the scale and complexity of these dramatic organizational events.
Katy enjoys helping clients drive major strategic change initiatives, and achieve targeted performance improvements in areas like revenue growth and workplace safety. She finds the process of working closely with a client to plan and orchestrate a significant organizational change, and adapt to the evolving realities of each unique situation, to be exciting and satisfying. The best part of Katy's consulting work is seeing her clients develop and achieve greater success and acclaim in their organizations. This focus on people's growth and success always informs her engagements with clients, and is one of the things that she seeks to pass on to her students at Ivey.
