Miri Buckland, co-Founder & COO, LANDING
Simply put, Katie is brilliant. Working together has not only been an absolute joy, but her impact on Landing has far exceeded any expectations. As an early stage startup, she has been a true partner to me as we built our comms strategy and narrative from the ground up. Katie has guided us every step of the way, but not before listening and deeply understanding our audiences. Her creativity, likability, deep curiosity and genuine passion for telling our story have been invaluable. From crafting our narrative and exec comms strategy, to ideating on creative approaches to partnerships, she’s leveraged her expertise to set us up for success and I can’t thank her enough.
KATIE DUFFICY, VP, COMMUNICATIONS, SALESFORCE
Katie is a great comms professional and somewhat of a chameleon -- ask her to take on a new role and she will adapt, learn and lean right in. She takes feedback and actively seeks out learning and development. But more than her comms skills, I want to talk about Katie the person. Katie is fun. And funny (they are two different things). Very funny. Katie is also the ultimate teammate - willing to jump in and help at a moments notice, always celebrating the wins of the team and of her team mates. Her laugh and her energy is infectious. You'd be mad not to have her on your team.
KEELY SULPRIZIO, VP, COMMUNICATIONS, IMPOSSIBLE FOODS
With her magnetic personality and confident, upbeat attitude, Katie knows how to approach any situation and can take control of any room. A networker and influencer by nature, she has an intuitive sense for people and an innate ability to impact them. Her drive to succeed is unmistakable, as she is constantly seeking out new challenges and asking difficult questions. She is a clear asset to any PR team. Katie has been a delight to work with and learn from, and I look forward to seeing her continue to "nail it" with everything she does.
PETER GAYLORD, VP CONTENT, SALESFORCE
Katie is a force of nature. You point her at anything, and she's going to figure it out and make great things happen. She has the ability to look at things from multiple perspectives - whether it's messaging, go-to-market strategy, PR, campaigns, or just a gnarly project - and find creative ways to do it better. Teams rally around Katie's ideas as her persuasiveness is outweighed only by her likeableness.
TAMMY TRUJILLO, VP MARKETING CONSULTANT + EXECUTIVE DIGITAL STRATEGIST, THE DAY BEFORE
Katie and I worked very closely together on the Marketing and PR teams at Nasty Gal. She's able to provide creative solutions and quickly problem-solve any obstacle that comes her way. She's an excellent communicator, collaborator, and leader. Her expertise in the Technology industry is uncanny and is a true asset for planning and execution. She's also so much fun to work with, has a great sense of humor, and always has a positive attitude towards everything she does. I hope that one day we get the chance to collaborate again.
DEVON (PASQUARIELLO) MCGINNIS, DIRECTOR, CONTENT & EDITORIAL STRATEGY, SALESFORCE
Sometimes the English language fails you, like when trying to find the right terms to describe Katie Boysen. A tour de force? Campaign consigliere? Messaging maestro? In any language, Katie is a rare gem to be treasured. Her skills sit perfectly at the intersection of communications, marketing, media relations, and so much more. All of that looks great on-paper but in real life she sparkles. She brings heart to every project, leads with conviction, and builds true camaraderie among teams. In short, she’s everyone’s favorite co-worker.
