In 2007, she created Entreprises pour les droits de l'homme, an organisation of large multinational companies headquartered in France, to better understand human rights in a business context.

Over the past decade, Kathryn has provided responsible business conduct expertise to governments, business and civil society in a wide range of countries including Brazil, China, Colombia, Egypt, Ghana, India, Jordan, Liberia, Myanmar and Russia.
