KATHIE JULIAN

Kathie became the Principal Chair of C12’s Greater Phoenix area on April 1, 2026, a role that unites her professional expertise and servant leadership to equip Christian CEOs and owners to build great businesses for a greater purpose. Her career spans executive leadership at major corporations including the Dial Corporation, Farmers Insurance, and WorkBoard, as well as ownership of a vertically integrated furniture manufacturing and retail business with locations throughout the southwest. She has also served as a strategic advisor through consultancies such as C3, Ferrazzi Greenlight, and MAP, guiding C-suite leaders through business transformations, cultural change, and dynamic market cycles.

As a strategic consultant and executive coach, Kathie specializes in developing future focused organizations and achieving rapid leadership alignment. Her recent work with high growth enterprise clients across consumer, financial, technology, and pharmaceutical sectors delivered remarkable results: every client achieved 100% leadership alignment within 90 days, implemented strategy execution tools for greater transparency, and sustained continuous improvement that outpaced their industries. Her credentials include a BS in Business Administration from the University of Southern California, an MBA in Strategic Management and International Business from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, and a Professional Coach Certification from the International Coaching Federation.

Kathie and her husband Vance are rooted in the Phoenix community, where they are actively involved in their church, volunteer with USC, and support several non-profit organizations, including Bare Necessities 4 Teens, a 501(c)(3) charity founded by their daughter.Got it!
