Sharper Decisions. Stronger Execution.
For senior leaders operating amid complexity, change, and competing priorities.
As Seen In
Kathryn Landis works with executive teams facing complex, high-stakes decisions.
Her perspective is grounded in experience. Before coaching, she led go-to-market strategy and teams inside Fortune 500 organizations, including American Express, ADP, and News Corporation.
Today, she partners with senior leadership teams to improve how decisions are made, priorities are set, and execution holds amid complexity and change.
She is an executive and team coach, keynote speaker, and NYU professor whose work is regularly featured in Harvard Business Review and Fast Company. She holds an MBA from Northwestern Kellogg and coaching credentials from Columbia University and the International Coaching Federation (PCC).
“Kathryn was an invaluable thought partner during a critical period of strategic evolution. She helped us step back from day-to-day execution and examine our decision-making, partner dynamics, and change risks with greater clarity. Her ability to surface issues early — and ask the questions we weren’t always saying out loud — elevated the quality of our internal conversations and helped us move forward with confidence.”

What Leaders Ask Me About Most
I write regularly about the moments senior leaders face when clarity breaks down, priorities collide, and the stakes are high.
“With Kathryn’s guidance, we improved our leadership score from one of the lowest in the firm to 100% and achieved 30–40% conversion on marketing leads—while building a stronger, more confident leadership voice at the executive table.”
