The Journey
Katie Marino-Kyle began her career in an unconventional way—mucking horse stalls at a summer camp—where she developed a strong work ethic and deep respect for hard work. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with minors in Biology and Statistics from Texas Lutheran University, a small liberal arts institution that fostered her innovative leadership style.
At TLU, Katie discovered her passion for quantitative data while overseeing multiple research labs. Her award-winning thesis, "The Lick Force of Palatability and Its Implications in Parkinson’s Disease Research as a Physical Therapy Metric," was featured as a headline session at the 2013 and 2014 Southwestern Physical Conferences.
After graduation, Katie interned on a research team in medical diabetes research before transitioning into the tech industry. There, her passion for making data literacy accessible to all, regardless of experience, truly flourished. With over a decade of experience in the tech industry spanning startups and enterprise companies, Katie has contributed to meaningful advancements she never thought possible.
As an Operations Manager at a tech startup based in Austin, Texas, Katie has leveraged her expertise in SOP implementation, data-driven decision-making, and P&L management to drive operational success. Her efforts have led to significant cost improvements, exceeding 100% year-over-year. She has also authored multiple papers, webinars, and initiatives, using data to inform impactful business strategies.
Each chapter of Katie’s journey has shaped her into a compassionate, results-oriented professional dedicated to innovation and meaningful impact.
