Mentor and Senior Advisory
Connection, clarity, and inclusivity are central to Kat Wong's career mentoring and strategic advisory approach. These values run through Kat's collaborations, including regular career advice through It’s Nice That and her Oh Yeah series at Soho House and Ness Labs.
With Kat's multi-award-winning career and eclectic journey across prominent creative houses, including production indies, BBC Radio, and a decade of international leadership roles at Apple, Kat has an undeniable track record of bringing out the best in people and creating a clear roadmap for career growth without the burnout.
With her advisory, Kat has a huge reputation for building thriving teams and purpose-driven initiatives, bringing in a balanced approach to individuals and founders that still drives growth and results. Her welcoming 'can-do' approach has supported high-profile dynamic organisations in protecting their values, craft and meaning for communities, while fostering a sustainable, positive culture for personal career growth.

Strategic Advisory: How to scale whilst protecting craft, creativity and authenticity
"I came to Kat at a point where I was scrabbling for answers about what to do next. I knew I had a lot of experience, but I was struggling to join the dots and articulate where I wanted to go.
Kat has a great way of bringing structure to what feels overwhelming. She asked challenging questions, gave honest feedback and helped me build a much clearer understanding of my strengths and the kind of roles I should be targeting. As someone who tends to think in black and white, I really appreciated her practical approach and the workshop exercises that helped me reset. I've left our sessions feeling much more confident, with a stronger personal narrative, better interview preparation and, most importantly, a clear direction. All whilst feeling friendly and supportive. I'll not hesitate to return if I find more stumbling blocks and highly recommend for people who are in a similar position."

“Kat has this rare ability to always put people first while never losing sight of the bigger picture, and working with her taught me how personal goals and business goals can truly align.
People-first, courageous, brilliant at connecting the dots, Kat has a way of cutting through complexity with clarity and care, and that’s what makes her such a game-changing coach. She’s also the kind of person you instantly feel you can trust with the real stuff; she just gets it; the big career questions, the personal goals, and how it all fits together. If you’re thinking about coaching, she’s the one you want in your corner.

“Coaching sessions with Kat have been life-changing - and that’s not an exaggeration.
They’ve allowed me to re-evaluate what’s working in my career and create a roadmap for where I want to be. I come away from every session with practical advice, relevant resources, and actionable homework. In only a handful of sessions, Kat has helped me map out exactly what I want to achieve, why I want it, and how to get there. Kat is extraordinary - incredibly quick, knowledgeable, kind, and always fully present. Before we started coaching, I had no idea how to get from A to B and now I feel like I know exactly what I'm doing. Having someone like Kat support and coach me is genuinely changing everything for me."

"Kat has always been a joy to work with. She has a rare mix of infectious enthusiasm, a clear mission, admirable values and a can-do attitude to die for.
Her wealth of experience running and inspiring high-functioning teams would be invaluable to any organisation looking for some strategic guidance and wisdom, and guaranteed to be delivered with a wonderful helping of candour and empathy."

"I have worked with Kat Wong a number of times over the last seven or eight years.
Each time I've collaborated with Kat, I gain precious insight and invaluable knowledge. Kat's experience across her superhuman roles at Apple, BBC and beyond means that the advice and guidance provided are not only of the highest calibre, but based upon huge success."
