Kate Westgate

Head of Marketing, Homecare, Unilever (Unstereotype Alliance Australia Champion)

A driven, creative and strategic marketeer with extensive experience in brand building, innovation, creative campaign development and trade shopper marketing. Highly organised with a strong eye for detail. I enjoy delivering results and turning declining brands and categories back into growth, never shying away from a challenge. I have a flair for presenting and bringing people on my brands/categories journey. I am resilient, welcome change and ambiguity and bring boundless energy to any situation. I take on my work and life with an optimistic outlook 'glass half full' attitude. Contributing greatly to team culture, I am passionate about bringing a positive impact to the environment and community through the brands I work on, constantly learning and challenging status quo, whilst working with other passionate, brilliant teams of people. I have a strong self awareness and EQ which enables me to lead with empathy and influence.
