Katie Robertson

Executive Director

Katie (she/her) is a charismatic, creative, and passionate professional who takes a vision and makes it a reality through sound strategy and team development. She intuitively sees the threads of opportunity that wind through an organization, brings them together into a coherent whole, and helps others extend their thinking. 

With a steadfast commitment to equity and anti-oppression, she has taken her lived experience to become an inspirational leader who shares stories that inspire action while at the same time being grounded in the financial information that levers the organization. Katie highly values empowerment and this is demonstrated through her leadership approach of inspiring others to rise to the occasion.

Katie is an active volunteer and contributor in her community, as the drive to help people carries over to her personal life. Serving others is a key value for Katie and she demonstrates that through her work with non-profits as well as the various organizations and campaigns. When she’s not working, she spends her time volunteering as a social justice and human rights advocate, as well as a climate activist. She is currently the volunteer Communications Director for CCFWE, an organization committed to eradicating economic abuse in Canada. 

Throughout her working career, she has also worked for elected officials on all levels of government, served as an elected official for a municipality in Ontario, and has been a leader and member of many not-for-profit boards.

Katie is a mother of one. Her main priority as a mother is showing her child, and the world, the importance and possibility of leading with compassion and empathy. To keep active, she is an avid cyclist and outdoor enthusiast. She loves scrambling mountains and backcountry camping and leads guided trips in the summer for women who have never been camping before.

Katie’s personal vision is to empower and inspire others to realize and embody their most authentic selves.
