Kate White's experience in media is as impressive as it is broad.

At Cosmo, she increased circulation by 30 percent during her tenure and oversaw all aspects of this #1 worldwide brand.

Kate's books on career and success include the recently released #1 Amazon bestseller (Women & Business) The Gutsy Girl Handbook (Grand Central), a totally revised edition of her groundbreaking 1990's Wall Street Journal bestseller, Why Good Girls Don't Get Ahead But Gutsy Girls Do.

She is also the New York Times best-selling author of 13 murder mysteries and psychological thrillers, which have been published in many countries. Her latest, Such a Perfect Wife, was named by Library Journal as a pick of the month and called it a "riveting mystery and intense page-turner that never lets up."

She is an in-demand speaker for conferences, companies, and universities. She has appeared on numerous national television shows, including Today, CBS This Morning, and CNN's Quest Means Business. Kate lives with her husband in New York City and is the mother of two children.
