As a senior woman leading an investing team at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Katie organizes a lot of her time and efforts around ensuring that more women will have the opportunity to lead investing businesses in the future. She is a member of the Steering Committee for the Asset Management Division Diversity and Inclusion Council, where she has responsibility for substantially improving the diversity of senior hires, and she has been successfully pushing for more diverse representation in the C-Suite and on the boards of companies in Goldman Sachs Asset Management portfolios. Additionally, Katie sits on the Advisory Board of Launch With GS, a $1 billion capital commitment from Goldman Sachs to invest in diverse entrepreneurs and fund managers. Katie is a passionate believer that diverse teams outperform, and has consequently built and led one of the industry’s most gender diverse investing teams: female portfolio managers in the Fundamental Equity group manage 40-50% of assets under management, up from 30% in 2016 and compared to an industry average of 11%.
