Kathryn Ness, CPSM
Founder, GO Strategies
Kathryn brings an energy and vitality to the team that significantly promotes the mission of “making everything about marketing and business development easier.” With more than 20 years in the A/E/C industry, Kathryn brings an in-the-trenches perspective for how things work and, more importantly, how things can work better. She has held marketing and business development positions at small, medium, and large firms. Kathryn brings a professional, direct communication style that cuts through endless meetings and discussions and keeps teams on-point. Her sense of humor is balanced with a sense of getting-the-job done. She is an excellent listener and provides creative solutions that work, not abstract theory that sits on shelves. Kathryn has successfully coached dozens of interview teams with public and private sector clients. She understands the trepidation and nervousness that technical professionals go through as they “sell” themselves in this process. Her technique of putting a human element to presentations has put comfort into the uncomfortable for anxious presenters.
