NetApp Women in Technology

Welcome to Rapid Fire with Laura McDonough. Each month, we portray the work of great Women in Technology members across NetApp. This month, we profiled Kate Baker, a customer success manager working in our regional offices in Colorado. In her role, Kate helps ensure that customers have the best possible experience with NetApp and adds value to the customer's ownership lifecycle. She believes fostering a cross-functional, collaborative environment leads to success for customers and NetApp. But it isn't all about work—self-care is essential. Kate tries to spend as much time outdoors as possible, hiking and exploring different trails with her family or curling up with a good book. #womenintech #womenintechnology #careers
