Personal
Katya loves art, restorative exercise, and time spent well with family and friends. An ideal day for the marketing director starts with an early morning hot yoga session, then time spent walking with her Labrador and listening to one of the many beloved tech/VC/CMO podcasts. When not exploring the latest art exhibition, Katya is likely to be found riding a bike around Battersea Park with her daughters – or pouring a perfect spicy margarita with her friends. Or watching Star Wars.
My favourite Maya Angelou quote has always been: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
