“As a woman in tech, a male-dominated space, Katie’s guidance on leadership and confidence has been a complete game-changer.

Thanks to her mentorship, I recently secured a new position that has put me on a direct path toward my career goals. Her real-life experience and practical advice gave me the push I needed to step into my power. I can’t recommend her services enough to any woman looking to grow and lead with conviction!!”

Meet Katie Naughton

Katie Naughton built her career in one of the most male-dominated industries in the country. Outnumbered and underestimated, she became one of the rare one percent of women automotive dealership owners.

Along her journey, she learned a lesson many ambitious women discover: Success is rewarding, but it can also be incredibly isolating. 

She founded Drive Her Forward to give ambitious women access to the mentorship, accountability, and community she wished more women, including herself, had along the way. Katie believes that success isn’t a solo journey, and growth happens faster when we women rise together.
