Kat is the executive director of IdeaSpace, and co-founded QBO Innovation Hub. She’s a champion for all things Filipino startup (she’s worked with over 500 of them, and started Startup Pinay to support women in the tech startup space). She’s an only child, and both her parents are lawyers. She took up materials engineering and business in university. While she’s largely spent the last year in lockdown, she’s an avid traveler and a “foodie.” She’s been to over 50 countries, and still plans to visit at least a hundred before she turns 40.
