Prior to co-founding ECM Therapeutics, Katie founded and remains President of KLC Connections, a business development and marketing firm based in San Diego that specializes in biotechnology and medical industries. Prior to starting her own firm, she was recruited by Dr. Craig Venter, who is known for sequencing the human genome, to lead the
fundraising efforts of the J. Craig Venter Institute from 2012-2016. In that timeframe, the institute raised over 13M in philanthropic support. Before working for JCVI, she worked at The Scripps Research Institute for 10 years where she held various leadership roles within Human Resources and the Philanthropy departments. In that time, Katie developed an incredible network of biotech industry leaders, scientific leaders and high-net worth investors. She was awarded a swimming scholarship from Penn State University, where she graduated with a business degree in Health Policy and Administration.
