About Katie

Katie Bennett is a big picture strategic thinker, with laser insight and is deeply inspiring. Her contagious energy is what she is known for. Over the past 20+ years, after an 11-year career in advertising, Katie pivoted to coaching and strategic planning, working with CEO’s and Executives to build high functioning leadership teams aligned around a clear and actionable strategic plan, and designing systems of accountability to deliver results. She has an uncanny ability to make the complex, simple; to coax leaders out of their comfort zone; to build high degrees of trust with a group very quickly; and to hold people accountable to their results.

In 2017, she added chairing with MacKay CEO Forums to her mix, providing deep facilitation skills and a broad and diverse network and is one of our Master Certified Chairs. Katie holds an HBA from the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario, and is a certified coach with The Coaches Training Institute and the ICF. Personally, she and her husband Jim have been married since 1997, live on the North Shore, and she is proud mother of 2 young men, Jake and Tyler. An avid athlete, in her spare time Katie loves to ski in the powder at Whistler, mountain bike on the north shore trails, go to F45 regularly and most recently is trying her hand at pickleball! Add travel and red wine to the mix and you get the picture!
