Kathryn Maloney, M.A. ABS

Thirty years inside complex, high-stakes systems stand behind my work, across Boeing, Boston Consulting Group, the United Nations World Food Programme, the Federal Reserve, the Federal Trade Commission, Edelman, early-stage ventures, and female-founded businesses. In every sector the work is the same. A matter of finding what the system operates from, letting the people in it see it, and designing toward what is truer and more durable so it can hold.

Trust is what has made my body of work possible, the kind that shows up as non-interference. Clients bring me in because I see what they feel and say what is true, then do the work to make change real. That trust, earned through competence, precision, and the rare ability to hold the human and the strategic at once, is what makes change transfer rather than stall.

I hold an M.A. in Applied Behavioral Sciences from the Leadership Institute of Seattle at Bastyr University, one of the few graduate programs that trained practitioners rather than theorists. My undergraduate foundation in Italian language, literature, and art history gave me the cultural and humanistic lens that has always informed the work. I am a trained coach, master facilitator, and qualitative researcher, with deep experience building and running large-scale studies that translate directly into organisational and public policy change.
