“Kate led the Internal Comms team at AXA through some of the most challenging and intense periods of change I've ever experienced in my time as an Internal Communicator. New Exec members, new intranets, new strategies...all at the same time. No mean feat to lead a team trying to deliver all this, while also having to focus on the BAU as well. As a line manager Kate is supportive of trying new things, challenges at the right time and provides the autonomy for her direct reports to own their work and be creative. As a communicator, Kate is knowledgeable, passionate and progressive...I always felt like Kate understood the reason behind why I was making a suggestion and would ask the right questions to help me investigate whether my approach was the right thing to do or not. And finally, as a person, Kate made everyone around her better as a result of her knowledge, experience and integrity. I would say all this, even if Kate didn't make the excellent decision of recruiting me to AXA.”
