Hi, I’m Katrina Rogers.
It’s nice to meet you!

I am a change expert with over 25 years of experience in discovering, developing, and manufacturing medicines and related technologies, and I am committed to changing the world through my work. I am committed to making the global startup community more diverse, inclusive, equitable, and welcoming for founders and funders.​​ These people dream of a therapy or health technology that will have a positive impact. However, it’s a long and challenging journey, and many become stuck. Whether it's problems with their idea, their process, their business, or regulations, they need help getting to the next stage. One of the things I do is work with people to overcome these obstacles and get their medical products from bench to bedside.

I started writing Thinking Kat to share my substantial experience in leadership, talent development, and ecosystem building to help leaders and organizations thrive in today's complex business environment. This newsletter draws from my unique perspective as a business and life sciences woman leader. Each post offers practical insights about organizational excellence, talent development, and building innovative ecosystems that drive real change. Whether you're scaling a team, developing new products, or forming strategic partnerships, I provide actionable strategies based on real-world experience.

However, I want to do more, and that’s where you come in. I want to build a community for my readers and offer you opportunities to ask me questions, pitch your company, and collaborate on projects. Paid subscribers have full access to all the content and benefits of the community. Free subscribers will continue to receive access to my weekly articles.

I'm grateful for all my readers who share my passion for transformational leadership and ecosystem development. I invite you to join my free newsletter, where we explore the intersection of leadership, innovation, and organizational growth. Subscribe to stay updated on leadership trends, talent development strategies, and stories of organizations successfully navigating change. Update your subscription to paid to access everything in the community.

Who am I?

I use my expertise in multiple ways within the life science ecosystem:

I am an adjunct faculty member in the College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at Washington State University Health Sciences Spokane and am active in the local bioscience industry.

I have extensive board experience and am the former CEO of the Evergreen Bioscience Innovation Cluster, a modern innovation cluster focused on expanding life science contract research in the Northwest.

I am also the KOL Director for Bullpen. Why did I join the Bullpen? Because I believe in the power of a trusted network to create opportunities. The Bullpen Club helps its members help each other overcome these and other challenges and bring critical medical innovations to life.

My executive services firm, Katrina Rogers Consulting, specializes in helping entrepreneurs, investors, and leaders change the world with their new medicines and medical devices. We are problem solvers - bring us yours!
