Kate Walsh has spent a lifetime collecting brilliant people.

For more than 25 years she's worked across philanthropy, advocacy, media, events, ethical business and social change, building an extraordinary network of strategists, creatives, organisers, designers, storytellers and thoughtful troublemakers along the way.

She's never been particularly interested in staying in one lane.

Instead, Kate has built a career on curiosity. Following interesting questions. Connecting unlikely people. Spotting opportunities before they become obvious. Helping organisations find clarity, communities find each other and ambitious ideas find traction. Along the way she's launched campaigns, built giving circles, raised funds, refreshed brands, designed experiences, brokered partnerships and convened thousands of people around ideas that matter.

She's also always believed in the politics of gathering.

Some of the most important conversations don't happen in boardrooms. They happen around kitchen tables, over long lunches, in gardens, at festivals and in communities where people feel safe enough to imagine something different together. That belief is captured in the old idea of bread and roses. We need the practical things that sustain us. We also need beauty, joy, culture, connection and moments of shared humanity. Kate believes the strongest organisations, communities and movements create space for both.

It is why food, hospitality and gathering have become recurring threads throughout her work. Whether designing a summit, curating a dinner, creating a giving circle or launching a new initiative, she is always asking the same question. How do we create the conditions for people to connect, contribute and leave more hopeful than when they arrived?

In Good Company grew from that belief.

After decades of working across sectors, Kate realised she was surrounded by some of the smartest, most creative and most values-driven people she knew. Rather than building another traditional agency, she created a collective. A trusted circle of independent thinkers and practitioners who choose collaboration over competition and substance over ego.

Her role is part strategist, part connector and part host. She brings together the right mix of people, ideas and energy to help organisations tackle complex challenges, seize opportunities and create work that leaves things better than it found them.

Kate lives in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales and remains convinced that almost everything worthwhile begins with gathering good people around a table
