Katherine is passionately interested in how private resources can be used more effectively to create public good, and in recent years, her work has increasingly focused on how philanthropy and social investing can adapt to a rapidly evolving global context. She has advised many of this generation's leading philanthropists and foundations, given dozens of major speeches about the future of philanthropy, and co-authored the noted publications, Investing for Social and Environmental Impact: A Blueprint for Catalyzing an Emerging Industry, Looking Out for the Future: An Orientation for Twenty-First Century Philanthropists, On the Brink of New Promise: The Future of U.S. Community Foundations, and What If? The Art of Scenario Thinking for Nonprofits.

Katherine's work draws upon diverse life experiences. In her 20s, she co-founded The Independent, an award-winning investigative newspaper in North Carolina, which won her both a Nieman Fellowship at Harvard University and a foundation prize for community service. After leaving journalism in the early 1990s, she worked as a consultant and later as co-head of the practice at Global Business Network, another Monitor Company, where she helped leaders in more than a dozen industries question their assumptions and adapt more skillfully to changing circumstances. She serves on numerous governing boards, including those of Monitor and the Natural Capital Institute, as well as the advisory boards of the Acumen Fund, Stanford Social Innovation Review, and the Nieman Foundation at Harvard University. Now a resident of northern California, Katherine has deep roots in the American south, where generations of her own family taught her the importance of philanthropy and community service.
