Combining Creativity & Logic

Kat Garcia doesn’t just break into industries - she cracks them wide open. A former television actress and independent recording artist turned AI founder, she has built a career defying the odds in entertainment, venture, and growth. Now, she’s doing it again with Ground. As co-founder and co-CEO of Ground, Kat is leading the charge in AI-driven revenue growth, helping consumer companies unlock untapped potential with cutting-edge technology.

Before Ground, she worked alongside industry giants like AMEX and M&T Bank, helped scale startups as interim Head of Growth while working at BCG Digital Ventures, and even had a stint in management consulting. But Kat’s story didn’t start in boardrooms - it began on stage. As a Latina-Canadian artist fluent in three languages, she released multiple EPs in English and Spanish, performed internationally, and even opened for Young Money. A digital creator since 2006 with over 100K+ followers, she has always understood the power of storytelling, influence, and brand-building.

One in only 90 Latinas to raise over $1M in the U.S. - and part of an even smaller group of women to build a profitable AI company. With a unique blend of creativity, strategy, and relentless execution, she is redefining how AI fuels the next generation of consumer businesses.
