Why I created Reignite
Hi, I’m Kat — founder of Reignite Careers and a certified coach.
My career journey started from the ground up. I arrived in the UK at 18 as an immigrant, not speaking English, and began working in cleaning and hospitality roles. Over the following years I built my career across aviation, operations and programme leadership, eventually managing global programmes valued at over $77 million.
Those nearly two decades in corporate environments taught me how people grow, adapt and lead through change. But they also showed me how many talented individuals struggle with confidence when navigating important career transitions.
Becoming a mother was another turning point. It made me realise how challenging it can be to reconnect with your professional identity after a career break. That experience inspired me to create Return & Rise, a programme supporting women returning to work with clarity and confidence.
At the same time, I have always felt a strong desire to support young people as they step into their careers. This led to The Power Within You, a programme designed to help students and young professionals build confidence and recognise their potential.
Today, through Reignite Careers, I combine certified coaching with real-world leadership experience to help individuals reconnect with their strengths, gain clarity and move forward with purpose.
My role is simple: to create the space, ask the right questions and help you unlock the confidence to take your next step.
