Kathy brings 25 years of professional accounting management experience to her role as finance consulting partner for The Inventures Group. The past 12 years she has specialized in providing CFO/Controller leadership to Silicon Valley computer software start-ups.

Since 1989, as Consultant CFO/Controller, she has helped to build the financial and accounting foundations for Collabra Software, Inc., Actra Business Systems, LLC, Netscape Communications, Cygent, Inc, Accept.com, Gigabeat, Inc., Omniva Policy Systems, and Good Technology. She has a solid reputation with a "can-do" attitude and is much more interested in results than she is in titles.

Prior to starting her consulting practice, she learned the accounting ropes at one of the first computer manufacturers in the area, Victor Technologies, Inc., of Scotts Valley, (time to get out the history books! We thought 7 Mhz was fast!) where she rose from ordinary accountant to Corporate Controller in less than 2 years. Okay, so no one else wanted the job (in a company fighting its way out of bankruptcy, but it was an incredible learning experience!)

Kathy lives a balanced life and when she's not consulting you'll find her in her studio painting, on photographic field trips, or perhaps performing weddings, house blessings, baby blessings and other rituals as an ordained Interfaith Minister. One of the added benefits of being her client is the use of her original paintings to dress up your lobby, conference rooms and offices. Perhaps she'll also add corporate blessings to her repertoire.
