She is the author of several books including Blockchain Hurricane: Origins, Applications and Future of Blockchain and Cryptocurrency (BEP 2020), the What’s Hot in Blockchain and Crypto series (2020,2021) and the SimCavalier cybercrime thrillers.
In a career spanning more than 30 years, Kate has held senior technical and financial roles in businesses across multiple sectors including utilities, manufacturing, leisure and software, leading several enterprises through their start-up and growth phases.

She now works with clients from start-up to blue chip multinationals in the UK, Europe and around the world.

Kate is not only highly knowledgeable about IT, but she is also an excellent writer, speaker and moderator on the subject too. It was a pleasure to be able to invite her to speak at Blockchain Summit London, where she moderated a track for us.
Although Blockchain itself is a highly complex concept, she demonstrated an excellent ability to talk about the subject in depth in an accessible and open way that everyone could relate to and engage with, which was a great asset to the conference.
