Kathryn O'Day

“I had the honor and privilege to work with (and for) Kathryn while she was COO of Rigor. Now, she continues to be a valued mentor, friend, and business mind---not to mention one of the sharpest, kindest, and inclusive people I know. While her strengths as a leader, skill developer, organizer, and driver of results are some of the best I’ve witnessed, perhaps her greatest strength is recruiting top talent and giving them the support and framework to excel. The ultimate force multiplier, Kathryn is an asset any company would be lucky to have with her ability to scale productivity and repeatable processes. Put plainly, Kathryn just finds a way to get it done, get others to get it done, and have fun along the way. You may even find her personally organizing the office shelves after completing a morning 5k, running the weekly executive meeting, and training new hires on project management best practices. All before she leads the charge to the post work happy hour. In lieu of continuing on and on or writing a full essay on why I would highly recommend Kathryn (which I could easily do!), I’ll summarize by saying Kathryn is undoubtedly at the top of my list for professionals I’d start a company with, and when she talks, I listen. Always. And you should too. ”

“I worked with Kathryn O’Day during my tenure as Chief Customer Officer and Kathryn was the Chief Operating Officer at Rigor. Working with Kathryn was always a delight. Whether through good or tough times, Kathryn brings innovative solutions to the table with equal enthusiasm. These are clear, tangible, and her solutions always come with the execution plan and clarity of the workflow: who will do what and at what stage, what the result will be, what the ultimate benefit will be and how to get there. Her genius is in being all inclusive, devising solutions and ideas that take the employee as a person in mind, uniting silos, and working from there to create internal delight and then project it to the customers. The system works and facilitates other employees in bringing out their best, maximizing their own skills. Her ability to translate abstract and high level ideas into actionable step-by-step plans with consumable stages is unparalleled and fosters ownership and integration of the various teams involved. For me it was always extremely enriching working with her and I highly recommend her!”
