Kat joined Rawtec in 2011 and has over a decade of experience in the circular economy, helping businesses and governments put more sustainable practices in place. In 2018 she was awarded the Green Industries SA Women in Circular Economy Leadership award.

She has worked with organisations across horticulture, dairy, bakery and foodservice to examine food waste, its root causes and what can be done about it. Kat also initiated Beyond Food Waste, which shares leading food waste initiatives from around the world.
She has led key work for state and federal governments on disaster waste management, state waste accounting, and waste and resource recovery infrastructure planning. She brings an international perspective to solid waste management as a past chair and communications lead of the Young Professionals Group of the International Solid Waste Association.
