Catherine Smith

Mary Poppins – flies in on her umbrella, uses her magical bag of tricks and a kind firmness to bring order to an ineffective situation, all while making connections and taking people on a journey to places they didn’t know existed.

Mary Poppins – flies in on her umbrella, uses her magical bag of tricks and a kind firmness to bring order to an ineffective situation, all while making connections and taking people on a journey to places they didn’t know existed. Fantasy? Nope. Catherine Smith does that on any random weekday, albeit in her Mini and with kombucha in hand. She is even a firm believer in serving her peers and clients a spoonful of sugar, instilling in them that in every job that must be done there is an element of fun.

For all she meets, Catherine is a present guide in times of change and those “big life” questions. At her core, Catherine cares about people and employs human-centered and heartfelt tools to manage, strategize, create and counsel on ever-evolving experience and communications quandaries. As President & Strategic Director, Brand & Culture, she leads the division where Purpose is articulated, expressed and brought to life, and guides her fellow Savages in pursuit of their own purposes.

Catherine’s magic has been redefined and refined over myriad experiences. She spent over a decade working client and agency-side in New York and has worked for herself; worked as an in-house marketer and as a brand strategist; managed an internationally known yarn artist and a team of production and installation specialists. Along the way, Catherine has had the good fortune of doing meaningful work with clients, such as Nikon, Guardian Life Insurance, Ann Taylor, Lehman Brothers and Diamond Offshore, and studying with Gestalt leaders and Conscious Capitalists alike.

Catherine is a founding board member of the Conscious Capitalism Houston chapter and currently serves as its President. She will be a certified Conscious Capitalist coach in 2020 and has experience in Gestalt Practice.
