About Katherine Piper

Strategic advisor who has spent my career helping complex energy organizations navigate high-stakes decisions with clarity, accountability, and purpose. Across more than a decade at Calpine, I’ve supported large-scale operational growth, guided governance through evolving regulations, and partnered with leaders across the business to turn legal complexity into strategic advantage. I approach every challenge with a balanced mindset: protect the enterprise, unlock opportunity, create solutions, and always elevate the people who make the work possible. I believe legal leadership is most powerful when it’s rooted in trust, integrity, and empathy — values that shape how I lead teams, advise executives, and build enduring organizational culture.
