Ms Kate Callaghan
Chief Operating Officer + SKA Program Lead
Biography
A seasoned leader who quickly establishes and builds lasting relationships, I have significant experience in strategic and operational planning, along with an ability to bring people along to deliver on those plans. I have advanced stakeholder engagement and management skills that I’ve developed through sensitive, high stakes, high pressure environments.
With experience gained right across the business value chain from commercial operations and P&L management right through to marketing, communications, sales and business development, I bring a clear viewpoint and advanced understanding of interdependencies, levers and risk in shaping unique solutions to ongoing business challenges.
On a personal level, I am a strong advocate for inclusion and focus my efforts on creating a workplace where everyone is included. I apply a servant leadership philosophy, believing that for an organisation to succeed, I must remove the roadblocks and coach others to do their job well. I set high, but achievable standards, exercise honesty during times of difficulty and engender the support of my colleagues to craft sustainable solutions to complex business challenges.
