Dr Kate Booth leads Learning & Development at MinterEllison, shaping capability programs across legal, consulting and business operations. She plays a key role in the firm’s AI Adoption Program and designs initiatives that respond to the shifting demands of technology, regulation and client expectations.  Professional services firms are at the cutting edge of AI disruption, requiring nuanced and thoughtful approaches to building capability – not just skills in AI, but in how people acquire the foundational skillsets of each profession.

Drawing on her award-winning research managing in VUCA environments, Kate’s work includes reimagining how early career professionals are supported and their development accelerated, promoting adaptable leadership, and ensuring people have the skills they need to grow with the business. She brings a strong foundation in coaching and experiential learning, and a pragmatic approach to capability building.

Her insights reflect the real-world challenges of developing talent in complex, people-driven environments—and the vital role of L&D in helping organisations stay competitive.
