About Keynote Speaker Kate White

Kate White, the former editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan magazine, is the New York Times bestselling author of several influential business books for women, as well 16 acclaimed novels of suspense.

She is passionate about sharing what she’s learned with other women, and her strategies are based on her long career as a media executive and bestselling author. In addition to running Cosmo for 14 years, she was the editor-in-chief of four other prestigious U.S. magazines. At Cosmo she increased circulation by 30 percent during her tenure, took the magazine to #1 in single copy sales, and oversaw all aspects of this mega-successful worldwide brand, including Cosmopolitan.com and Cosmo Books. She broke into publishing after winning Glamour Magazine’s Top Ten College Women Contest.

Kate’s books on career success include the #1 Amazon bestseller (Women & Business category) The Gutsy Girl Handbook, a revised edition of her groundbreaking 1990’s Wall Street Journal bestseller, Why Good Girls Don’t Get Ahead but Gutsy Girls Do, and I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This: How to Ask for the Money, Snag the Promotion, and Create the Career You Deserve.

Her 16 murder mysteries and psychological thrillers include the 2022 release, The Second Husband, and have been published in countries around the world.

Kate has appeared on numerous national television shows, including Today, CBS This Morning, Good Morning America, Morning Joe, and CNN’s Quest Means Business. In June of this year she was awarded an honorary doctorate of letters from Union College.

Married and the mother of two children, she divides her time between New York City and Las Flores, Uruguay.
