Kat is currently an Engineering Manager at Spotify where she leads teams to develop new non-intrusive ad formats to support the free tier. Prior to Spotify, Kat worked at a startup called Teachable, and at Capital One. She is based in Brooklyn, NY - where she holds the belief that Brooklyn beats Manhattan in almost all categories (save museums, maybe). Outside of work, Kat loves to read, run (the marathon this year!), knit, and share her opinions with any and all that will listen to them.
