Kate is the co-founder of Nugget Savings. Upon having her first baby 18 months ago, the maternity pay was so low she couldn’t afford to take a maternity leave with her baby so she worked through its entirety. Katie was struck by how blindsided fellow parents felt by the financial implications of a maternity leave, and for most, it was not something that was considered until planning for the imminent arrival of a baby. If there had been better education and saving had begun earlier, parents would feel much more financially confident about their parental leave. Katie has a background in tech sales and a degree in politics. She feels Nugget is the perfect blend of her passion for feminism and building businesses.
