Katy has a strong track record of leading campaigns and projects across Business in The Community (BITC), including in her current role as Gender Equality Campaign Director. Central to her campaign work across both Gender and education and skills is inclusion with a specific focus on supporting those from lower socio-economic backgrounds.

Outside of her experience at BITC, Katy is Chair of Governors at a local primary school and is a former councillor, taking the lead on the borough’s Violence Against Women and Girl’s (VAWG) strategy. Through both roles she has been able to gain insight into the challenges facing women within the local community and use her platforms and influence to connect women to local support, lobby for further funding and work to protect vital services at a time of real budgetary pressure for local authorities.

Katy is also mother to a four-year-old daughter and lover of vintage fashion
