Kat Rector

I am a dynamic and collaborative Strategic IT Engagement Manager with a strong track record of transforming strategic visions into actionable technology initiatives. My expertise spans business development, program management, and stakeholder engagement, where I lead high-impact, end-to-end initiatives that deliver scalable, sustainable solutions aligned with evolving business needs.

In my current role at Staffmark Group, I specialize in IT engagement strategies, business growth, and strategic partnerships that drive innovation and long-term success. With a deep understanding of workforce solutions and technology-driven initiatives, I help organizations navigate complex challenges by optimizing processes, fostering key relationships, and delivering results that align with business objectives.

Previously, as a Strategic Development Manager at Akkodis, I successfully drove go-to-market strategies, managed large-scale projects, and developed nationwide engagement programs that strengthened brand awareness and client relationships.

Beyond my professional roles, I am deeply engaged in the tech community. I am the founder of AustinTechEvents.com, the Marketing Director of Austin ISSA, and sit on the SIM Austin Membership Board Committee in addition to having served as a Chairperson for Women in Tech Texas 2024, a SXSW 2025 mentor, and a chairperson for IntelliC0N 2025. These roles allow me to champion fostering community, mentorship, and professional growth while continuing to learn and grow.
