Learned a lot driving strategy and execution during hyper-growth. Highlights below:

+ Drove strategic planning initiatives across C-Suite to facilitate decision-making (e.g. 2020 strategy roadmap, investor relations, quarterly Board Meeting materials)
+ Orchestrated optimizations across the biz during hyper growth, including scaling onboarding capacity of the underwriting function by 200% (in one month!)
+ Managed weekly executive metric gathering and presentations. Became intimately familiar with things like CAC and LTV, and how their fluctuations provoke insights/action. Took a SQL course, too
+ Organized a new cross-functional Data Governance team to standardize company-wide metrics reporting. Motivated to make my weekly executive metric presentations a little easier (!) and to eliminate KPI confusion I saw popping up in different teams
+ Participated in investor meetings and crafted materials as the business prepared for its Series D raise ($200MN)

... caught the 'startup bug' while I was here. Passion projects evolved accordingly. Left to pursue them, and been an entrepreneur ever since.

Katie Nowak

Honored to host a breakout at the All Raise VC Summit tomorrow on a topic we’re all navigating: what do you do when IPOs stall?

At "Choose Your Exit: Liquidity When IPOs Stall," we will be in dialogue on all things re: liquidity in venture!

Topics may include:

✨ how expectations around liquidity is shifting generally,
✨ secondaries-as-a-strategy (for investors and their founders),
✨ stories of founders and investors navigating off-cycle exits, and
✨ how to keep stakeholders (LPs, GPs, founders) aligned through it all.

We can't wait to share best practices and learn from each other.

If you’re at All Raise, we hope to see you there! 

Looking forward to co-hosting this important topic with Seyonne from Stepstone. 

I will be channeling our fearless leader at Altra, Jamie! 💫

Here's a secret to selling faster,
no matter what industry you're in - 🤯 

Build trust, systemically.

Recently, I connected with a founder who said buyers pick his B2B solution because they trust him.

...but he noted that building trust takes time (sometimes months) and that slows sales cycles. Especially in new markets.

Plus, there are only so many 1:1 lunches you can do!!

So, we brainstormed how he could accelerate trust at scale.

Here are some examples we came up with:
✨ co-deliver with respected implementation partners
✨ build his leadership teams' personal brands (hi LinkedIn)
✨ publish thought leadership with real market insights/wins
✨ speak at industry panels or on podcasts customers follow
✨ host relevant discussions/roundtables within the industry
✨ bundle with complementary products already in customers’ tech stack
+ many more.

In all sectors, trust is the root driver of most deals and referrals.

When you find ways to build it at scale, your sales cycles shrink, and your credibility compounds.

Social proof is a ~ mystical, magical ~ thing!!
(Humming Benson Boone's song while I type that 😂)

How does trust factor into your growth strategy?

Which of these strategies are you going to try...

2025 is the year of AI dominance in venture capital. 🤯 
These market insights make it official - 

According to CBI Insights Q3 2025 Venture Market Report:

✨ For the first time, AI startups command 50%+ of VC funding
✨ The U.S. market represents 85% of AI dollars invested, globally
✨ Mega-rounds are taking the lion's share (yes we see you Anthropic, OpenAI), so while dollars are up, deal count is down.

Venture aims to back the next wave of innovation - and this year, the data tell us it's a full-throttle bet with AI at the core.

...anyone surprised?!

Jokes aside, here’s what I’m thinking about:
+ How might these investments reshape how we live, work, and play?
+ What lessons will we look back on, five years from now?
+ How do we plant seeds for what comes next? :)

Would love to hear your reflections and ideas. Drop them in the comments!

(P.S. I’ll tag CBI’s full Q3 report below if you want to nerd out, too 🤓)

Desafía SF 1:1 Office Hour with Investors

Here’s the growth strategy hiding in plain sight, 
no matter what your company does - 🤯 

Your personal brand!! 

Here are three key takeaways from talking brand (and seeing it work):

✨ Your brand works harder than any pitch deck.

People do business with people, not logos. 

(Say it louder for the people in the back!)

A well-tended brand bridges cold intros, opens unexpected doors, and quietly shapes the narrative even when you’re not in the room.

Quick ideas to build brand:
+ Speaking on podcasts/panels
+ Sharing good vibes at industry events
+ "Giving" first when building relationships
+ Writing thought leadership content (LinkedIn!!!)

✨ Authenticity isn’t a buzzword... it’s your moat.

Trying to sound like everyone else? 
Using ChatGPT to write your LinkedIn?

We notice! And its unfortunately forgettable. 

Show up as you are. The quirkier the better IMO, as my followers know by now 🤣

Over time, consistency and honesty make you memorable (and magnetic) in a sea of sameness.​

✨ Treat your brand like a product your company offers.

...because it is!

Experiment, measure, and iterate your brand, just like you would any new offering.

For example - writing content online? 
+ Test messages and platforms.
+ Ask peers/colleagues for feedback.
+ Measure engagement metrics.
+ Double down on what connects.
+ Sunset/reword what doesn't land.
+ Offer real value to your audience along the way!

-

Over the last several years, I've invested in my brand and ended up creating my own business model design course, an ever-expanding business, and my dream role in venture. 

It's been the single best career move that I've made.

If I can build my brand, so can you!

-

So tell us - what’s one move you’re making (or resisting) on brand right now?

And if you posted on LinkedIn today, link it so we can support you!

Today, Dyson is a multi-billion dollar household name.
...but it took 5,127 prototypes to get there. 🤯 

Here's what I love about the Dyson story:

✨ Patience brought the hardware moat to life.

A lot of people would have quit after 100 prototypes. 
Dyson made it to 5,126.
(The 5,127th worked!)

Ask yourself: 
+ What is your relationship with patience, today?
+ What areas of your business could use a learning mindset (focused on experiments, not fearful of failure)? 
+ How could you nurture that mindset over time?

✨ Boring problems can have exciting solutions. 

A vacuum sounds boring. 
...but solving it better changed an industry.

Ask yourself: 
+ What boring problems is your industry overlooking, today? 
+ What is the resulting opportunity, near-term?
+ Where could it grow, long-term? (Thank you, Dyson Airwrap!)
+ How are you uniquely positioned to solve it?

✨ Constraints force creativity.

Dyson had no funding. No manufacturer backing (because they wanted to keep selling vacuum bags ugh). No shortcuts.

...and look what he created!

Cheers to his wife for supporting him in the early days. 🥂 

Ask yourself: 
+ How could our perceived financial limitations actually be an advantage?
+ How might we generate revenue along the way to my North Star vision?

---

It's been awhile since I've highlighted another entrepreneur's story!

What inspired you from Dyson? And who would you want to hear about next?

Nemesis of No, Champion of How | Risk, Compliance, Security Executive | Navigating Intersections of Innovation and Regulation | Leadership Coach, Guide, and Advisor | Dragonslayer of Problems

In my heart, I’m a helper. Growing up with alopecia, my world view was shaped by being viewed and treated differently. As I battled relentless judgment (and self-judgment) about my appearance, I resolved that nothing and no one would get the best of me. Over the years, that tenacity transformed me into a dragonslayer of problems, a nemesis of no, and a champion of how. 
 
Now, as a risk and compliance expert, I’m known for using my tireless and unique curiosity to help others discover *what’s possible* in any given situation. Choreographing creative solutions out of “yes/no” questions and uncovering the opportunities hiding inside obstacles is where I thrive. 

Known allergies - Jerks. BS. Hypocrisy. Rules that don’t make sense. Bullies. Avocados. (Seriously.)

****************

Other things to know about me: 
+ I value curiosity, humility, authenticity, and please & thank you.
+ How we achieve results is far more important to me than what results we achieve.
+ I've never met a process that I didn't want to enhance!
+ Assuming positive intent, creating meaningful connections, and developing trusted relationships are all key components to building and leading a team, compliance or otherwise.
+ I'm the person to call for precision and deliberate calm in leading large scale crisis management, complex problem solving, and change management.
+ Crucial to a team’s success is using a consistent approach (rather than result) to evaluate and understand concerns, questions, or situations.
+ I am devoted to coaching, mentoring, and encouraging others to discover, nurture, and live out loud as the best versions of themselves.

Finally, I adore clarity. The perspectives I share here are a culmination of my own personal reflections, a lot of individual trial and error, and purposeful personal and leadership growth. While I am incredibly proud to be associated with my outstanding teams and colleagues at Ochsner Health, the opinions I share here are solely my own.

I am *overjoyed* to share that I’ve accepted an invitation to join Loyola University New Orleans College of Law as Adjunct Professor of Law!

Teaching, building, mentoring, coaching - all the things I love best - all wrapped into one new adventure! 

Incredibly grateful for the opportunity to bundle up all the things I've learned along the way and share them with my students. 

What's one piece of advice you've got for me as I start planning?

Healthcare Risk & Compliance Expert | Advising Boards on Governance, Regulatory Oversight, and Enterprise Transformation | Adjunct Professor of Law | Curating Clarity and Solutions | Dragonslayer of Problems

Honored. Impressed. Grateful. Hopeful.

Feelings that come to mind after Michelle Johnston, Ph.D. invited me to guest lecture in her class at Loyola University New Orleans College of Business.

Using Michelle’s *first* book, The Seismic Shift in Leadership, as our guide, we discussed how trust, connection, servant leadership, and culture all inform how we show up, how we lead, and how we interact with (and among) our teams. (All kinds of teams - work teams, sports teams, family teams - it all matters.)

(I was also prepared to talk about how to optimize, own, and manage your calendar! It’s one of my most favorite tasks to do, and I’m *really* good at it!) 

We discussed whether we extend or earn trust, how (or if) we can repair trust once broken, how trust and connection are inevitably intertwined, and what characteristics that work (and team) cultures need to feel supportive and engaging. 

These students are open, bright, honest, and curious. They were thoroughly engaged in our conversation, and I hope they walked away as energized as I did. I learned a lot from these young leaders - the future is bright!

No alternative text description for this image

Y’all. It’s here. Today is my Super Bowl. It’s been one year in the making.

The planning and training for any event like this is critical. Here’s mine: 

...Cleared my calendar 
...Bought my ticket weeks in advance 
...Avoided social media to stay in the right head space
...Watched the film on first half repeatedly (even yesterday on the plane)
...Packed the right equipment (tissues, glasses, maybe a gluten-free snack)

It’s all about setting and managing expectations - both mine and those of others! 

I’ll be at the movies later today in case anyone needs me. But please don't need me.

PS - don’t hide your magic. it's too important. 💚🩷💚

I’ve got a secret about LinkedIn  Recommendations that no one tells you - 



Recommendations are not only for employer/employee or client service relationships. You can give a recommendation for any multitude of things! 

As illustrated below (thanks Melissa Cohen!), mentoring, studying, teaching, working together, etc. (I had to put in a name so I could get to this screen - who wouldn't choose THE #dingdangdelightful Melissa Cohen?)

And I’d say that “working together” can be defined as a lot of different things.

In a community where you join sessions to learn together? Working together.
Volunteering at the same philanthropic event? Working together.
Organizing a holiday event together? Working together.
Speaking on a panel together? Working together. 

If someone knows me well enough to introduce me to a stranger, they know me well enough to make a recommendation. (Whether the want to is an *entirely* different story! 😉)

Once you get past the “how do you know them” part - the rest is super easy. Simply write a few quick sentences that would help someone know this person better. 

Here's a few ideas (you only need one!):

•	What do they do better than anyone else?
•	Describe a specific instance where they made a difference.
•	Identify one or two qualities or skills that make them stand out.
•	How would you describe their *approach* to work (e.g., leadership style, teamwork, reliability)?
•	What’s it like to work with them? How do you feel after being around them?
•	What roles, teams, or organizations would benefit from their strengths?
•	Why would you recommend them to others?

Now, with all that, here's my holiday challenge to you - can you give *one* LinkedIn recommendation before the end of the year?

Or one recommendation each week between now and 12/31?
Or even one recommendation each day between now and 12/31?

Starting today, I’m going to try for one per day. That's right. I'm gonna do my best to write 36 recommendations to close out 2025.

And I’m going to start with the ones that I didn’t even realize were sitting in my “pending” folder - so sorry to those friends (you know who you are!) 

(pro tip - you can *ask* someone for a recommendation, too!)

Please join me - Who's in for giving at least one recommendation?

One of my favorite holiday gifts as a kid was a new book. One that was my very own. Don’t get me wrong, I loved going to the library. So much variety and so many stories just waiting to be read. And having a book of my very own? Heaven.

I love books. Always have. Always will, I suspect. For a while, I didn’t have (or didn’t make) time to read them. And now I do. Both. In equal measure.

accordingly - in anticipation of alllllll the holiday shopping, I will spend a few posts over the next week sharing some of my recent favorites. You can “add to cart” or, better yet, visit an independent bookstore!

First up - “Simply More” by the incomparable Cynthia Erivo. The subtitle is “A Book for Anyone Who Has Been Told They’re Too Much.”

That should be enough right there.

I'm very familiar with “too much” - it has meant too nosy, too noisy, too curious, too loud, too quiet, too ambitious, too energetic, too lazy, too independent, too much all the things...

Anyone else?

And Cynthia's got it right - what if, when someone calls us “too much,” we hear “simply more” instead?

This book is a super quick read - I spent my whole day yesterday with Cynthia Erivo, reading her book and seeing Wicked: For Good. It was a glorious day, if I do say so myself. #DingDangDelightful, in fact! 

This book is part memoir, part guide for the “too much” club. It’s a FAST read, and I'm guessing an audio book, too. How glorious to hear these words in *her* voice. 

So many gorgeous passages - I’ve got tabs and highlights all over for when I share this book with my 20-year old niece. 

Here are a few of my favorites:

“Lots of people will not get us as we work to be just more. We have to let go of their perceptions and do what’s ours regardless.”

“Some people will get us. Some never will. That’s just the way it is. Don’t lose sleep worrying about those who don’t understand.”

“Be patient when you don’t see where and how all the pieces fit. Just know this: What you’re drawn to is trying to show you something important.”

and the entire Chapter 44 titled "Decide, and Let It Be So." Yes, I think it's technically a chapter and it's only one page. I'd buy the book for this one section. I'd encourage you do the same to find out what genius it delivers.

Follow along and stay tuned for more book recommendations!

y'all. a little secret about joy - we can create it, curate it, cultivate it. joy is active, not passive. let's go!

as a reminder and refresh (and an introduction for those of you new to the neighborhood), here’s the definition and backstory of #DingDangDelightful:

‘delightful’ is honestly one of my favorite words

and, sometimes, words and phrases simply fly out of my mouth, like #dingdang 

therefore: ‘ding dang’: adj., - something so ridiculously good, brilliant, and inspired that it requires two purely G-rated words to describe it

because sometimes cussing simply doesn’t fit the moment and you need something emphatic to say! 

plus, it’s just plain fun. 

more ding dang delightful content headed your way very soon - stay tuned - same bat time, same bat channel

in the meantime, what #dingdangdelightful things are y’all up to this week?

Bold leaders, unite! And get your pens ready…

Another book I’m reading and wholeheartedly recommend is “The Bold Leader” written by my very dear friend Leigh Burgess MHSA, MA, MEd, MBA. 

This is not just another leadership book. 

It’s an insightful guide with questions to consider, activities to find clarity, and writing prompts to uncover the boldness that we all have inside us. And that’s all in addition to Leigh’s blueprints for helping you emerge and evolve into the bold leader you were always meant to be. 

A few quotes that knocked my socks off: 

“Once you take action, fear diminishes.”

“The greatest barrier to bold leadership isn’t fear, it’s the gravitational pull of daily routine.”

“Your true legacy, the lasting mark of your bold leadership, will not be defined by singular moments, but by the many small yet courageous choices you consistently make.”

Also, ‘Chapter 7: Bold Conversations’ should be required reading for all leaders of teams (work, family, and community teams)! 

Run, don’t walk, and add to cart! And stay tuned for another recommendation soon (and visit my profile to see the previous recommendations)! 

PS - this holiday season, I’ll be highlighting some of my recent favorite books. I have always loved giving and receiving books as a holiday gifts. There’s something special about someone knowing you well enough to give you a book they think you will adore. I hope you'll find something in my recommendations that fits the bill!

y'all. I am deep in de-cluttering mode today. and seeking variety in my podcast listening. Criteria: entertaining and light, with notes of fun and learning. sorta like me. 😉 comments are open!

even when you think you’re planting all the same seeds, the flowers have a surprise for you


growth is the same way

no two journeys are exactly the same because none of us are exactly the same 

keep growing at your own pace - you’ll arrive where you’re meant to be. right on time.
