Unreasonable Mentors

Kathryn Mckinley

Senior Innovation & Product & Portfolio Strategist at fuseproject

Kathryn is an Unreasonable Mentor. Kathryn was part of Unreasonable Impact Americas 2018, and has advised over 12 Unreasonable companies.
I strive to drive change and deliver impact wherever I go. As a fuseproject senior innovation strategist with a focus on product and portfolio planning - I help our clients and startup partners anticipate the future, find new opportunities, launch new products, grow their business and succeed. I believe in human centered design and stand against design for designs sake. 
I sit on 4 boards and have 6+ years of experience with setting visions, planning and running capital campaigns, and organizations.
I am a graduate of Harvard with 4 years of marketing strategy experience with Ogilvy & Mather working with clients like FAGE, ParaExel healthcare, Nestle Waters, Sugar, Chocolate, Pet, and Baking. I got my joint masters at the MMM program at Northwestern - an MBA from Kellogg, an MEM from McCormick School of Engineering and a Certificate in Design from the Segal Institute of Design.
