In this episode of Hives + Vibes + Tribes, I am speaking with Kate Carney.

Kate Carney is an experienced business consultant, lawyer and strategic advisor. Today, she helps scale businesses and empower female founders with game-changing ideas. Her mission is to help more female founders cross that $1mm mark in revenues and create sustainable businesses. She takes a founder-centric approach to performance, focusing on leadership, talent and organizational design. She believes the alignment of these critical areas results in a culture that supports sustainable growth. Kate works with her clients to help them transition successfully from Founder to CEO, to develop and engage their teams, and to facilitate innovation and collaboration.

With Kate's extensive background working in the world of law as well as big finance I couldn't help but really want to dig into the culture of male-dominated industries as I spent 20 years working in the same type of environment. We talked about East Coast vs West Coast culture differences in the firms that she worked as well as her thoughts on why many Founders find transitioning into the CEO role when the company scales is not an easy task. All this and much more came from this lovely conversation with Kate. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
