Katharina Paola Thomae

Hi, I’m Katy. Raised in an entrepreneurial household in Germany with strong family ties to California, I developed an international mindset and fluency in English early in life. My fascination with cross-cultural communication led me to earn a diploma in Translation and Interpretation (English/Spanish), followed by an M.A. in Linguistics with academic research conducted in Argentina and Barcelona.

As lifelong writer, I published my first book in the UK in 2025. Professionally, I spent over a decade leading international initiatives within Fujitsu's global marketing ecosystem, mastering large-scale enterprise execution.

My shift toward strategic freelancing began when I was recruited via LinkedIn into a CMO/CSO leadership role at Fasihi. Managing this transition—and subsequently navigating the company’s acquisition by BASF—marked my evolution into a dedicated B2B Marketing Consultant and Fractional Lead. Today, I combine corporate rigor with agile consulting to help fast-growing tech companies bridge strategy, execution, and pipeline growth.

Beyond consulting, I take the stage as an international keynote speaker on High-Performance Leadership and AI in Marketing. I deliver high-energy talks connecting AI-driven brand execution, human authenticity, and executive cognitive endurance for global tech summits and corporate events.
