The arc

01 · Colombia

The bar was learned the hard way

Kate built her career in Colombia's tech ecosystem, more than a decade recruiting for the companies where a wrong senior hire costs runway, not just time. That is where she learned to separate what interviews reward from what teams actually need.

02 · ADDI

15 people to 400

At ADDI, one of LATAM's fastest-scaling startups, Kate helped take the team from 15 to 400. Scaling at that speed forces the question every founder eventually asks: why do skilled hires fail? The answer, culture fit read early, became her method.

03 · Purrfect Hire

Hiring today for YC, a16z and Sequoia founders

She founded Purrfect Hire to run that method as a closed loop: map the founder's real bar, place against it, and train senior talent against the same standard. 160+ placements later, 80% are still in the seat after two years.

297K people follow how she evaluates

Kate publishes the criteria in the open: how founders read profiles, what filters senior candidates out, what an offer negotiation actually rewards. The method is public; the application is 1:1.
