# Kat Garcia > Founder and Growth Expert I'm Kat Garcia (Kathleen Garcia-Manjarres), co-founder & co-CEO of Ground, the AI-powered platform helping consumer companies unlock hidden revenue opportunities. 1 in 90 Latinas that have raised over $1M in venture capital funding in the U.S. Before founding Ground, I spent years at BCG Digital Ventures investing in, building, and scaling consumer companies alongside some of the world's most influential brands. I've also worked as the interim Head of Growth for high-growth ventures and consulted for major players like Essilor-Luxottica, AMEX, Neiman Marcus, and OXXO during my time at Accenture.
