About Kate

Kate Sutherland has built her career around delivering results for higher education institutions. As vice president of graduate student affairs and enrollment at Regis College, she launched more than 15 new programs, oversaw all adult learner programs, and successfully doubled graduate enrollment. Today, she leverages her public- and private-sector experience to help clients expand their portfolios, enter new markets, and strengthen enrollment strategies.

As a Managing Director at Tyton Partners, Kate leads strategic consulting projects for higher education institutions and supporting companies. She specializes in developing partnerships, product development, and go-to-market strategies, while advising on industry best practices that honor institutional histories and missions. Her recent work includes helping public and private institutions—ranging from small colleges to large online-focused universities—evolve their program portfolios, expand into new markets, and refine enrollment approaches; developing best practices for institutional partnerships that respect legacy and identity; and advising companies and nonprofits across the K-12 and higher education sectors, including technology companies and publishers, on strategies to reach new categories of learners.

Before joining Tyton Partners, Kate provided strategic consulting at Public Consulting Group, led program management at healthcare technology startup deNovis, Inc., and managed projects at the Massachusetts Executive Office for Administration and Finance.
