About Katherine Corn

I’m a people-first, enterprise Retail IT leader driving technology delivery that works—at scale. I oversee software, infrastructure, and operations supporting 2,200+ locations, ensuring high availability, security, and operational efficiency. I’m passionate about modern delivery models, equipping and empowering teams to perform at their best, and using technology as a catalyst for culture change and business growth.My leadership style is rooted in servant leadership, transparency, and psychological safety. I’m known for building high-performing teams, developing future leaders, and guiding organizations through change in a way that is sustainable, human-centered, and results-driven. I partner closely with business and technology leaders to align vision, execution, and culture—using Agile practices, modern delivery models, and continuous improvement to increase reliability, agility, and business impact. I care deeply about how work gets done, not just what gets delivered, and I believe empathy, clarity, and accountability are essential to scaling both technology and people.
