Katherine Lewis, PCC, CPCC

Executive Coach

“Partnering with senior executives to facilitate leadership development, change management, and strategy positions them for greater success in the VUCA environments we work in. My passion for guiding them to be more effective and deliver more for their organization extends to coaching their entire team in as well as their high-potential managers in situational leadership.”

Executive Coaching

Katherine approaches each individual as a whole person. She helps executives identify their triggers, blind spots, and negative thoughts so that they can reframe and rethink their approach to leadership. Her philosophy centers around changing mindsets and enhancing leadership capacity.

Katherine has walked in executives’ shoes – through hiring, firing, upsizing, downsizing, rightsizing, merging, acquiring – in companies ranging from small boutiques to multibillion-dollar corporations. Having spent over 20 years as a corporate executive, she understands the pain, desire, excitement, and vision of driving businesses forward and career trajectories upward.

Executives do not need business advice. They need coaching to effectively build, develop, and motivate their teams. Katherine has coached executives at companies ranging from startups to large, global organizations, and in industries such as financial services, healthcare, biotech, e-commerce and media. Recent clients include Pfizer, Tribune Media, Moody’s, Chartbeat, Allstate, Hasbro, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Brown Advisory.

Professional Experience

Before coaching, Katherine spent more than 20 years as a senior executive in corporate America. She managed multibillion-dollar companies through major organizational and culture change, while mentoring dozens of mid-level senior and C-suite executives.

As President of an online photography company, MyPublisher.com, Katherine rapidly scaled the business from $5M to $30M in sales within four years. She closed the B2B arm, which was dependent on its sole customer, Apple, and built a direct to consumer brand. This rapid and profitable growth (30% GM) resulted in Shutterfly, Inc.’s acquisition of the business.

Prior to joining MyPublisher.com, Katherine held several senior leadership roles with Time Warner and Cablevision, marketing and launching new digital products, including digital TV, cable internet services, and video-on-demand. She also served as Global Brand Manager for Sheraton Hotels & Resorts Worldwide at Starwood Hotels. Her corporate career began as a management consultant at Bain & Company where she advised Fortune 500 companies on strategic and organizational issues.
