Kate Walling is working her way toward the title of "serial entrepreneur." Like most entrepreneurs, she is passionate, energetic, a natural networker, big thinker and a hands-on learner. She's seen both success and failure and has learned that the recipe for entrepreneurial success is controlled risk, innovation, timing, and chance.

At the age of 24, Kate founded TheSecretIngredients.com , one of the first "make your own cookbook" websites. As five year CEO, Kate learned how to build and promote products for women. She managed teams of web developers and learned the ins and outs of digital print, web 2.0, and e-commerce.

Through major PR efforts, Kate acquired customers in 49 states. She found her love for the camera, appearing on Chicago ABC7, DayTime (a daily lifestyle show syndicated throughout the southeast), WLOS ABC 13's Carolina Kitchen & Craft Corner, KGUN ABC Tucson and in interviews for both radio and online magazines.

Before leaving North Carolina for Seattle in 2007, Kate participated in a business incubator and technology commercialization program. She believes that community support, resources for learning, and constant feedback are crucial to success and continued improvement.

In her free time, Kate enjoys all that Seattle has to offer while maintaining her Southern charm.
