Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKatt Kennedy is a Principal Strategic Researcher with eight years of experience blending data engineering, statistical analysis, and industrial/organizational psychology to drive product and UX decisions across enterprise and consumer software. She has led cross-functional teams at Cash App and Siemens, built strategic qualitative repositories and KPIs, and restarted inclusive research programs focused on marginalised users and AAC technologies. Comfortable moving from telemetry and NLP to moderated interviews and workshops, she translates messy datasets into actionable insights and dashboards that influence senior leadership and product roadmaps. Katt is pragmatic about compliance and data governance—GDPR and HIPAA considerations are core to her research tooling and repository work—and she has a knack for rehabilitating legacy datasets into reliable analytics assets. Based in Portland with a self-styled “data archeologist” curiosity, she combines hands-on engineering with empathetic user research to surface edge-case needs that often unlock broader product improvements.
