Having benefitted from mentorship, networking and sponsorship in the past, Katie is now passionate about providing other women with access to these advantages. She connects the dozens of women she manages and mentors with each other and with industry leaders and seeks to raise the profile of high-potential women at the Firm. Katie has sought to hire and promote women at GSAM for more than a decade: 43% of assets under management within the GSAM Fundamental Equity business are managed by female portfolio managers, substantially more than the industry average. Additionally, Katie has mentored and coached women through the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses and 10,000 Women initiative. Externally, Katie has led a successful effort to increase female representation on corporate boards at companies globally where GSAM is a shareholder. She is also a Young Global Leader with the World Economic Forum.
