Kathy Lockhart

Kathy (Kat) Lockhart drives exceptional client outcomes while advancing VisionSpark’s strategic delivery, ensuring growth-minded businesses achieve long-term success with their leadership teams.

Kat’s approach to client success is deeply rooted in her diverse background as an entrepreneur, senior strategist, and technology advocate. Having previously served as VisionSpark’s AI and Senior Client Strategist, she brings a unique blend of strategic intuition and operational efficiency to her leadership role. Kat is a former business owner with more than 20 years of experience in sales, strategy, and leadership across multiple industries. Because she has successfully launched and grown her own retail venture, she speaks the same language as the visionary founders VisionSpark serves, understanding firsthand the critical need for alignment and organizational health.

As Director of Client Success, Kat ensures that VisionSpark’s high-impact, human-first approach is supported by modern operational efficiencies. Internally, she continues to champion the firm’s AI integration and tool development, streamlining backend processes so the team can dedicate more focused energy to serving clients. Externally, she partners with leaders to navigate complex organizational growth, helping them translate their hiring challenges into predictable talent strategies.

Her strengths span executive search strategy, AI-driven process optimization, and deep experience with major business operating systems including EOS, Pinnacle, System & Soul, and Scaling Up. Additionally, as a Certified Exit Planner and Certified AI Consultant, Kat provides the holistic insight needed to guide companies through critical execution and transition phases.

Outside of work, Kat is passionate about golf, pickleball, and her growing family of grandbabies. If she had a motto, it would be, “I play for fun. I just happen to define fun as winning.”
