Katherine Fulton - Katherine Fulton is a partner of the Monitor Group and president of the Monitor Institute, the vehicle through which the Group applies its knowledge, expertise, skill and capital to complex social problem solving (www.monitorinstitute.com). Katherine’s career path has been shaped by two passionate interests: the use of private resources for public purposes, and the connection between leadership and learning. She has explored these themes through leadership positions in organizational consulting and journalism, and through teaching and volunteer service. Prior to moving to the Monitor Institute, Katherine was the co-head of the consulting practice at another Monitor company, Global Business Network. During much of the past decade at GBN, she helped organizations in more than 12 industries manage more skillfully through increasing uncertainty. In recent years, her consulting practice increasingly focused on the future of philanthropy and non-profits, and she has given more than three dozen major speeches on the subject. She is the co-author of two publications on philanthropy published in 2005, Looking Out for the Future: An Orientation for Twenty-First Century Philanthropists and On the Brink of New Promise: The Future of U.S. Community Foundations. She also co-authored the 2004 publication, What If? The Art of Scenario Thinking for Nonprofits. Her efforts have won her both a Nieman Fellowship at Harvard University and a Lyndhurst Foundation prize for community service, and her innovative course design at Duke University was featured in Time magazine. She is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Harvard College, where she was also the captain of the women’s basketball team.
