An owner first. A consultant second.
Kathleen has been an entrepreneur since 1998. She has made payroll, managed a P&L, and made the calls that keep a company alive — which means when she sits across from a business owner, she's not guessing at what’s at stake.
In 2008 Kathleen founded Clarity Consulting Group and started selling social media marketing before “social media” was a phrase people used. Clients thought she was early. She was — and the ones who moved with her spent the next decade in front of their competitors.
That pattern has now repeated four times: social, mobile, marketing automation, and today, AI. The tool changes. The question doesn’t. Does this bring in customers, or does it give you hours back? If it does neither, don’t buy it.
Katheen is certified in AI by the Wharton School, Vanderbilt University, and Google. But the credential isn’t the differentiator — everyone has a certificate now. The difference is the lens. She evaluates every AI tool as a business owner, not a technologist. And she'll tell you when the right answer is to spend less, or to wait.
