The Bench is Deep at Team Heller

Director, People Operations

Kate's tenure at Heller began first as a client, then as a consultant, and she knows firsthand the value our people can bring to our clients. Now, as Director of People Operations since 2022, Kate continues to indirectly support our clients by directly supporting the individuals on the Heller team.

With a focus on engagement and performance, and responsibilities to assign consulting teams to projects, Kate helps maintain the quality of the services we provide clients like you.

Before serving nonprofit organizations with the Heller team, Kate worked with small businesses and nonprofit organizations for 18 years. Her work included responsibility for operations in advancement for the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, and it was there that Kate learned the importance of a strong client/consultant partnership.

She is a gardener and bird-watcher, and enjoys camping and hiking with her husband.
