Jaclyn Kates

Jackie is the founder of Kates Consulting, an organization design advisory firm dedicated to helping businesses navigate growth and transformation. The firm's approach is built on the pioneering organization design methodology of Jay Galbraith and leverages a network of design consultants who have collaborated closely over the past decade, sharing a deep appreciation for his work.

Jackie has led over 50 enterprise-level organizational redesign initiatives, spanning Fortune 50 corporations to high-growth, private equity-backed late-stage startups.

She works with these leaders to get ahead of the predictable organization challenges of growth and make the smart decisions that will allow them to efficiently scale their companies.

Jackie shares her organization design advisory experience as a guest lecturer at NYU, Cornell University, Brooklyn College, professional forums, and for in-house client programs. She holds a bachelor's degree with a dual-major in Finance and Operations from The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Prior to founding Kates Consulting, Jackie was a consultant at Kates Kesler, Accenture, and Booz & Co. Outside of work, Jackie enjoys exploring the world with her husband.
