SVP of People & Culture
2015 - 2016
Whil was one of the first pioneers in digital mindfulness and wellbeing training. Working with some of the top trainers in the world, the team produced guided content designed to help employees reduce stress, increase resiliency, and improve performance with programs based in science, mindfulness, and positive psychology. As the first employee at Whil, Katelin built the People & Culture function from the foundation up and hired on the first generation of Whildebeests. In less than 6 months, they brought a company to life and a product to market. Whil was later acquired.
Head of People & Culture
2011 - 2015
Employee #21 at Klout, Katelin built and developed all People & Culture functions as a partner on the Executive Team: from foundational HR frameworks (HRIS, policy administration, compensation & benefits) to pioneering employee engagement philosophies and cultural structure. Managing a fast growing team from infancy through acquisition, Katelin was (and continues to be) a passionate employee advocate and a fierce protector of Klout’s notorious culture. Klout is regularly listed amongst the best places to work, with a team of talented and thoughtful employees. A firm believer in data-driven HR strategy, new initiatives are always rooted firmly in maximizing impact and reducing friction to ensure the company is well positioned to achieve its goals. The acquisition of Klout in early 2014 by Lithium Technologies proved that these strategic initiatives were effective, as “talent and culture” were listed as primary assets in the purchase.
