Katrina Paddon
Managing Partner
My superpower is connecting the dots and as a strategic advisor, I've influenced over $3B in technology expenditure spanning all project lifecycle stages. I founded Gemini Strategy & Governance in 2019, and in 2023, I expanded my professional services portfolio as the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of a social venture called West Coast Angel Network (WeCAN).
I have worked extensively as a senior management consultant, as well as having been an in-house resource, so I have a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities on both sides of the fence. Having worked client-side for large corporate and government clients on high complexity, risk and value projects for nearly 20 years, I am very well versed in the complexities they face, as well as the challenges most startups and SME businesses face when trying to secure large clients.
I love working within the tech industry and the startup ecosystem as the energy, intelligence and innovation constantly inspires me to learn and think strategically, creatively and ambitiously. In this capacity, I have worked across most industries and sectors, have deep knowledge of government processes and policies, and have worked with teams across most major geographic locations.
My credentials include:
BAs in Political Science and English Literature,
an MBA with a focus on Strategic Procurement, and
certification as an AI Governance Professional and Certified Information Privacy Professional (Canada) from International Association of Privacy Professionals.
