she/her

Welcome to my channel. My name is Kathie Owen — a private consultant specializing in human behavior under pressure inside founder-led and private equity–backed companies.

I work in the moments that matter most: mergers, acquisitions, leadership transitions, and high-stakes growth. The places where decisions look rational on paper… but outcomes are driven by people.

On this channel, we talk about "human diligence:
– founder attachment and identity risk
– executive misalignment behind closed doors
– pressure patterns that quietly derail decisions
– cultural fractures that impact enterprise value

This isn’t corporate advice or motivational content. It’s a clear, unfiltered look at how people actually behave when the stakes are high — and why that behavior determines whether companies scale, stall, or fracture.

If you operate in high-stakes environments — as a founder, executive, investor, or advisor — and you want to see what others miss, you’re in the right place.
