Katie Tsuru

Katie’s energetic personality and sweetness belies her sassy, strong will, which made itself evident at the age of 18 months when she decided that napping was simply not necessary when she had more important things on her agenda. While all the other girls were curled up reading, Katie fell in love with numbers and basketball, and went on to get a degree in mathematics. Katie was decisively thrown off balance by the way women were undervalued in the work force. Embedded in the local Oil and Gas industry she noticed how often women were overlooked for promotions, earned less for performing the exact same jobs as men and often sank into the sunset if they took maternity leave. She decided enough was enough, and joined forces with her mother-in-law to create a space designed by women for women where women can bond together to reach further, faster.
