About

Kate Kingery

I’m the person mission-driven leaders call to turn complexity into clarity, helping them define their strategic position, build powerful partnerships, and drive change that matters.

I am an executive partner and strategic advisor with experience aligning purpose, people, and results. For more than 25 years, I've led nationally scaled efforts to improve health and well-being, working across philanthropy, government, nonprofits, and higher education. I bring a strong public policy lens, cross-sector fluency, and a human-centered approach to systems change within institutions, communities, and ecosystems.

I advance bold ideas and focus on strengthening the organizations and coalitions that bring them forward. My approach is grounded in a believe that lasting change is possible when we center people, act with integrity, and lead with both strategy and heart.
