SKILLS
ABOUT KATHERINE ZEPEDA ARREOLA
I have 12+ years of experience working in education and technology, managing and advising teams from early talent to executive leadership, and collaborating across teams – from Engineering, Product, and Data to Legal, People Ops, and Finance. 🤝 I approach my work by thinking about the experience, “What do I want people (partners, customers, users, colleagues, managers) to feel?” and go from there. My leadership style combines servant and situational leadership, where I approach problems with curiosity, empathy, adaptability and a desire to collaborate to achieve goals. With this combination of traits, I’ve been able to foster the trust to lead with high expectations and empower high performance teams. Trained in coaching practices early in my career, I ask powerful questions to get to the root of challenges, pain points, and gaps before creating action plans. I employ hypothesis-based problem-solving to test solutions, gather data, and iterate accordingly. Similarly, I consistently seek feedback from managers, direct reports, and peers, to uncover blindspots and opportunities for growth. I’ve successfully led roles in Customer Success, Program Management, and Chief of Staff functions, and my intellectual curiosity naturally pushes me to continue to grow and learn new things. Lastly, I’m a first-generation everything (HS graduate, college graduate, and MBA). I wholeheartedly believe in the power of mentorship and coaching. I actively mentor current college students and early career professionals through programs like Oakland Promise and Haas Thrive Fellows.Top CliftonStrength Theme: Restorative (yes, I very much live to solve problems).
