01 — Bio

The short version,
and the long one.

Katey Cox headshot

I build at the intersection of technology, sustainability, and creative storytelling. I'm an MBA and tech startup founder building ServiceNetZero, an operations intelligence tool for food service.

I spent almost two decades working my way from the bottom to the top of a career in hospitality. During business school, I pivoted to consulting and AI for business. I've trained and led 30+ person teams, created sustainability programs from scratch, and written dozens of white papers for defense contract applications.
