Katherine was born in the U.S. and hadn’t traveled until she was 16 years old and visited the Soviet Union (1988). Since then she has visited over 30 countries and lived overseas. Her passion for culture has evolved with the PCM into a unique way of looking at how people are different. By incorporating her cross-cultural experience in multi-national corporations with the PCM, she is able to bring the power of corporate coaching services to individuals.

In 2000 while living in Singapore, she founded Invisible Culture, a consulting firm that provides Cross-Cultural Training and Coaching to MNCs. Since then she has conducted workshops, coaching and seminars on working across cultures crossing-cultures for Fortune 500 companies around the globe. She has lived in Australia, Singapore, China, the U.S. and Costa Rica and has worked across a broad range of industries and departments.  

Currently based in New York she has always wanted to explore people’s differences through personality - the culture of the individual. She had looked at other personality inventories, but settled on the PCM® because it was the first time she found one that reliably crossed cultures.
