Katie Archibald – born and raised in Wichita, Kansas – now resides on the Atlantic Coast of Florida. A life-long learner, she earned both a Bachelor’s degree (Accounting and Spanish) and MBA (emphasis in Leadership) from Wichita State University. She shares with us her wealth of experience in the corporate environment, the construction business, and mission-based nonprofit work.
As our Chief Product Officer, Katie sees herself, first and foremost, as responsible for ensuring her direct reports and their teams have what they need to be successful in their roles while doing what is best for our educators and their students. This includes ongoing development of Principle Based Management (PBM) the framework that guides Empowered and Stand Together as a whole.
A fan of Win-Win Focus, Katie says an early-career supervisor encouraging her to pursue personal development and innovation during work time changed how she thought about what it means to bring the best out of people while helping them self-actualize.
