For over 25 years, Kate Davis has helped leaders and teams perform at their best in fast-moving, high-pressure environments. A former City solicitor turned operations director and change leader, she has seen from every angle what makes people and organisations thrive - and what quietly breaks them.

As the founder and CEO of Meraki People, Kate now works with scaling, service-based businesses to fix the people issues that slow growth - culture, communication, and team dynamics. Her consultancy partners with founder-led companies across creative, tech, construction, and recruitment industries, helping leadership teams strengthen trust, clarity, and performance as they prepare to scale or exit.

Kate is a multi award-winning ICF ACC-accredited executive coach, including last year's National Coach of the Year, and a 5 Voices Master Practitioner. Clients often describe her as “The Board Whisperer” - a nod to her ability to read the room fast, surface the truth no one else names, and rebuild alignment where it’s been lost.

Alongside her client work, Kate is Vice Chair of the IoD in Surrey, an ambassador for talent and leadership development, a facilitator and coach for Business Leader, and a keynote speaker on leadership, culture, and the strategic power of joy at work.
