Kate Megaw lives for the AHA moment - the instant a leader finally sees the way through, or a team pushing against each other starts pulling in the same direction. She has spent 25+ years creating those moments.

Founder and CEO of ARCLight Agile and Co-Founder of Team KatAnu, Kate helps organizations close the gap between "doing Agile" and "being Agile." Her background spans education, operations, project management, and organizational leadership, and everything she teaches is filtered through one question: will this help a team work better tomorrow?

A Certified Scrum Trainer (CST), Kate also holds Certified Team Coach (CTC), Project Management Professional (PMP), and Certified Agile Leader (CAL) credentials, and is a sought-after speaker with a fun, engaging, and practical style.

Originally from Scotland and now based in Los Angeles, Kate works across all industries, including finance, healthcare, media, entertainment, and defense.

Leadership, she'll tell you, is a team sport!
