Katie started her career in investment banking, working for a leading Dutch bank for the first 10 years of her career, before switching to insurance at the age of 26. She founded MWA, which was a niche Private Client insurance broker with a specific focus on sports, which she subsequently sold to RK Harrison in 2012. Following the sale, she headed up the Private Clients, Rural and Fine Art team within the wider RK Harrison group and undertook the same role on an expanded basis following the Howden acquisition.

Katie has four sons, so the majority of her spare time is spent on the side of a football, rugby or cricket pitch, and she also loves to travel and explore new places with her family.
