About Katie Echan

Strive for progress, not perfection.\"- David PerlmutterDavid Perlmutter\'s words above have really shaped how I approach life each day. I truly believe that habits are the key to achieving your goals and focusing on the journey instead of the destination brings a whole new joy and appreciation to life.I have experience working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments through my experience at LinkedIn, Tesla and Intuit. What I have enjoyed most about my experience in program and project management is helping people come together to make an impact and reach a common goal. The relationships you build through this type of work is extremely rewarding and my favorite aspect of the job.I spend my free time mostly outdoors in the Sierra Nevadas. You can find me paddle-boarding, hiking, skiing, kayaking, and mountain biking year round. When I am not outdoors, I spend my time practicing yoga, reading, cooking, journaling, and spending time with my family/friends.
