Katherine is responsible for leading, developing and implementing partnership and fundraising strategies that supports Adelaide Fringe as a not-for-profit organisation. She leads her team to seek out authentic, creative partnerships that align with Fringe’s values and vision of being the most inclusive festival in the world; supporting artists, venues, and diverse communities within South Australia.
With over 15 years of experience in strategic partnerships, Kat spent eight years in the UK, leading global partnerships and events for international advertising platform, LBBonline. A highlight included four years organising a weeklong networking event (on a beach!) at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. She returned to South Australia in 2017, joining the Fringe family and now leads the Business Development team.
Kat is proud of the positive social, economic, and cultural impact that Adelaide Fringe has on South Australia and encourages Adelaide Fringe Partners and supporters to feel the same way.
