Founder of Kathryn Gorges Courses and Marketing and Co-Founder of Inspired Success, I coach startups, small and medium-sized businesses on how to dramatically improve their business and marketing effectiveness.

I specifically focus on leveraging the vision and value at the heart of the business into quality customer relationships that scale and result in higher revenues. I apply over 20 years of experience in high tech marketing and sales in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I have spoken at conferences, workshops, meetings, and corporations on topics ranging from the future of marketing and social media to the application of high availability systems in the financial industry. My presentations, workshops, and coaching sessions consistently get excellent reviews—and I love presenting information that is empowering to people.

I am currently President of Women In Consulting and also of the Stanford Entrepreneurs Alumni Group. I teach Marketing Strategies for Entrepreneurs and Small Business Owners at UC Berkeley Extension San Francisco, Introduction to Marketing in the International Diploma Program at UC Berkeley Extension in Berkeley, and Market Traction for Startups at local accelerators.

I have held marketing and sales leadership positions at IBM, Amdahl, Stratus, and Tandem and I have served in executive roles on non-profit boards and community organizations.

I have a Masters in Philosophy from Stanford University, an MBA from Santa Clara University, and a BS in Mathematics from William and Mary.
