She’s a powerful advocate for the vital, and oft undervalued, role women play in business.

You’ve probably seen her work on the shelves of your local Tattered Cover.

A stint abroad is one thing. A lifetime of multi-cultural experience is another.
As Denver transitions from cowtown to global player, we need to think beyond the boundaries of city, state, and country. Katty Kay embodies that perspective. From a childhood spent hopping around The Middle East with her diplomat father, to her work in Zimbabwe, Tokyo, London, and, presently, Washington D.C., Katty doesn’t just think globally, she lives it.

Think ‘global perspective’ sounds suspiciously like a buzzword? Maybe. But this issue has major implications for Denver South.

Ask Katty and she’ll likely say a global perspective is about seeing connections. When news comes out of the White House, Katty asks how this will affect Iraq, China, Mexico. And just the same, the effects of Denver South’s decisions – from who we hire to our environmental impact – ripple the world over.
