Katlean became the “GURU” of “NEW” after leading women into the man-made field of technology. When she first arrived on the scene at the Consumer Electronics Show, this former model and TV correspondent was mistaken for a booth babe, but everyone soon found out that she was throwing out the first pitch for women. While high tech has been her high priority, Katlean has a flair for fashion, and is well known as the leading translator of fashion and style for every woman. In fact, Katlean started in fashion, first as a model, then a sweater designer. She began her television career reporting on fashion collections as a lifestyle correspondent for Reuters, and the rest is history. Her upbringing as a daughter of an American diplomat and French railroad pioneer family on her mother's side had her living in six countries - a true child of the world, which gave her a global perspective.

Katlean founded Can do Woman in 1994, gathering her team of nationally renowned experts to create a integrated media platform of television, radio, print and Internet, to give women advice and the tools to better manage their multi-tasked lives. Katlean is seen, heard, or clicked to by over 5 million people every week.
