Kathryn Sforcina began her journey with radical transformation as a serial entrepreneur and has 20+ years experience as a C-Level Executive and Board Member.
After personally founding and scaling multiple multinational companies, she then spent the past 8 years helping leaders and their teams explore the intersection of emergent technologies, systems thinking, social ecology and the journey of transformation to understand how we can build more agile, resilient and responsive teams, technology, solutions, systems and policy frameworks; for a more conscious, connected, equitable and sustainable approach to humanity and the stewardship of our planet.
Current Work:
Her book, Digitalizing Sustainability: The Five Forces of Digital Transformation, is due to launch in January 23 through Taylor and Francis Publishing Group. This will be her first title as a published author.
In her time outside the corporate world, Kathryn is also a lifelong student and practitioner of the ancient ways, having passed through the rites of passage to be initiated as a Vision Quest guide and facilitator in the Stalking Wolf (Lipan Apache) Lineage. Additionally, Kathryn is a qualified personal trainer, meditation and breathwork instructor, shamanic practitioner and sound healer. She has also spent an extensive amount of time learning and sitting with the traditions of various indigenous Amazonian tribes.
Kathryn's personal passion is to bridge the gap between ancient tribal ritual, indigenous cultures and wisdoms and their place in our modern-day existence to fuel connection between individuals, organisations and their leaders and their journey of self, soul and purpose. Whilst supporting them in building a truly meaningful, intimate relationship with nature and country. She believes it is within this context that innovation, creativity, sustainability and modern-day tribal transformation have the optimal environment to thrive.

As the rate of technological advancements gets exponentially faster, how do we think about business success? What are the roles of 'experts' and generalists? What role does diversity - of ways of thinking as well as other forms - play in fast-tracking collaboration and convergence for global real-world solutions? Join Kathryn Sforcina, Commercial Director at Palo IT, to find out more!It's time to engage our community of business leaders to harness technology for people and planet.
Powered by volunteers including some of the senior leadership team from Palo IT, #fillthegap aims to engage the private sector to close gaps in resource, skill set, capital, data and technology required to achieve the UN 17 Sustainable Developments Goals. Some of the initiatives we are presently exploring solutions for include: 1. Solving the 68% SDG Data Gap 2. Addressing the use of frontier technologies to support the prevention, early detection, response to and recovery of wildfire prone/impacted areas /communities 3. Utilising smart city and geospatial technologies to reinvigorate (and /or rebuild) existing infrastructure for maximum environment impact. To find out more about how you can get involved, you can attend one of our 'Harnessing Technology for People and Planet' roundtable events (please contact us if you are interested in attending as they are invitation only events).
