Kate has spent nearly two decades in large, complex organisations making new things land — across communications, transformation, customer experience, and employee engagement. She takes the work seriously and brings genuine warmth and humour to every engagement. That combination tends to shift the energy in rooms that are carrying a lot of pressure.
Most recently, Kate led the people side of the M365 Copilot rollout at Westpac: 47,000 employees, adoption sustained at 85%+, and 90% enterprise-wide training completion — alongside an AI and agentic program that saw 15,000+ productivity agents built by employees.
Delivered M365 Copilot adoption to 47,000 licences — including strategy, planning, stakeholder engagement, and learning — with adoption sustained above 85%+.
Led adoption for GitHub Copilot, Agent Builder, and Copilot Studio, including risk and governance — 15,000+ personal productivity agents and 3,000 Studio agents built across the organisation.
Groupwide AI literacy programs with 10,000+ Gen AI foundation completions, a citizen-developer network, and 400+ AI advocates embedded across the business.
From Telstra Wholesale’s first NBN customer connection to leading Westpac’s enterprise AI engagement, Kate has spent her career building things that didn’t exist before. That’s the work WestonCooke was made for.
