CEO
Kate Van Wagoner is Co-Founder and CEO of Stenaverse. Kate is a native of Salt Lake City, Utah, with a deep appreciation for the potential this great state holds. Having spent her entire life in Utah, she has come to understand the unique qualities and opportunities it presents. Her educational journey led her to the University of Utah, where she further developed her love for this region and its rich heritage.
After completing her studies, she embarked on a career path that allowed her to explore different industries and gain valuable experiences. She initially joined Goldman Sachs, where she honed her analytical skills and developed strong business acumen. It was during her time at a high-end architect/design firm, however, that she truly found her niche in back-end management and operations. Though she may not possess a natural inclination for creativity, she found immense satisfaction in optimizing processes and ensuring the business ran smoothly.
While her professional pursuits have been diverse, her true passions lie in the realms of sports and education. These two fields have always fueled her enthusiasm and motivated her to make a positive impact. She firmly believes that sports possess the power to unite communities, foster personal growth, and instill valuable life lessons. Simultaneously, she sees education as the cornerstone of progress and empowerment, serving as a catalyst for change and enabling individuals to reach their full potential.
