What it is like to work with me.

I had the pleasure of working with Katy for the last 1.5 years, during which she served as Director of Product Management, AI Operations on my team at SoundCloud. Katy combines exceptional technical depth with sharp strategic thinking. At a time when new AI solutions were emerging almost daily, she consistently cut through the noise, evaluating opportunities, pressure-testing their potential, and determining exactly which innovations were the right fit for us.

Katy is relentlessly solution-oriented and one of the most determined problem-solvers I've ever worked with. She never hesitates to go the extra mile. She's proactive, analytical, and always one step ahead, not just doing what's asked, but actively surfacing issues, shaping thoughtful plans, and often being the first to drive execution. On top of all that, Katy is simply fantastic to work with: down-to-earth, approachable, trustworthy, and someone you can always rely on when things get complex. She knows how to get things done, and she does it with integrity, clarity, and a truly collaborative spirit.

"Standing on the shoulders of giants" captures the essence of Katy's contribution and the impact she left on Apptegy and me. Throughout my collaboration with Katy, she consistently proved herself as a well-rounded product manager, a thoughtful leader, and an outstanding colleague.

She set the tone for the product team and laid the foundations for the majority of the products that are growing today in Apptegy. Katy's contributions were a cornerstone for the company's success and product growth.

I have been consistently impressed by her remarkable perseverance and commitment to overcoming product challenges, proving, time and again, to be a true achiever at Apptegy. Katy was undoubtedly a pivotal contributor to finding product success for Rooms and business growth for Apptegy.

She is an amazing PM. She will always take time to have a conversation with us to make the product more reasonable for clients and devs. She takes our opinion really seriously and will communicate it to the people who need to hear it.

She's also good at planning stuff ahead, so we never need to wait for the next thing to do. Also, she is funny, so no one gets frustrated around her. An amazing PM and human. I can only think good things about her.
