Katherine serves as the Chief Marketing Officer for KFC Canada. In her role, she oversees all omnichannel marketing planning, communications, corporate reputation and innovation development for the Canadian business unit and is responsible for brand health and profitable revenue growth.

Katherine kick started her career in Ireland, working for Procter & Gamble across its Baby, Fabric and Home Care portfolios. She made the leap to the land of the golden fried good stuff, joining the KFC UKI business where she worked for a number of years before transferring to KFC Canada. Over her time at KFC, she has had incredible opportunities to champion a move to omnichannel retail, a dedication to redefining Finger Lickin’ Good for today’s generation across food, planet and people initiatives, and championing a return of brand building marketing. 

Katherine is a believer in foresight and the power of marketing to influence organizational change. Outside of the office, she is an avid traveler, a culinary enthusiast (although she has mastered the eating more than the cooking) and a mom of two.
