Katie’s producing credits include 40 feature films (including 9 premieres at Sundance), 27 TV series for Netflix as a production executive, and dozens of documentaries, shorts, and commercials. Her expertise includes team leadership and management, slate planning, production and financial management, budgeting and scheduling productions, contract negotiation, cost tracking, analytical thinking, creative thinking, vendor relationships, risk management and creative/logistical development of content. Katie specializes in production consulting and producing in EMEA where she has deep production expertise and a strong network: she is uniquely experienced in successfully navigating the opportunities and challenges a US studio or production faces in these regions.

​

A passionate and curious world-citizen, Katie has worked in 25 countries: Belgium, Bulgaria,  Canada, Cayman Islands, China, Croatia, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Italy, Jamaica, Latvia , Lithuania, Luxembourg, Morocco, Nepal, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, UK and USA. She has also traveled to 75 countries. It was no surprise therefore that Katie joined Netflix in 2018 as an international production executive responsible for driving the global expansion of Netflix’s original productions: her initial remit was Turkey, Poland, Sweden, and Belgium. Her work on such a broad slate made her a key contributor to establishing best practices, workflows, and cross-functional collaborations that served as the basis for Netflix’s continued scaling across these regions.

​

In 2021, Katie relocated to Istanbul to help establish a Netflix Turkey studio to drive the company’s long-term success in the region. She shepherded numerous initiatives and supported local producing partners and cross-functional colleagues to reach ambitious volume and quality goals within a challenging market. 

​

Katie is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the industry. She is a member of the DGA, the PGA, IFP, and Women Production Society. Since 2013, she has served as the production advisor for the Venice Biennale Cinema Fund to support global emerging talent.

In 2023, Katie returned to producing and production consulting with a focus on English language content shooting in Europe. She is currently serving as Head of Production for LA based TV studio Amplify Pictures and as Media Guarantor’s European production executive based out Amsterdam.  She launched a production service and consulting company called Pathfinder Pictures, partnering with financial controller and  finance executive Skip Henfling.
