Kate Malekoff, Founder of Adva Studios
Meet the Founder
Hi! I'm Kate.

I've spent my career leading big, complicated, and fun projects: shaping national conversations on education, leading talent and strategy for acclaimed nonprofits, scaling schools, running successful startups, and producing award-winning podcasts. I like building things, working with people, and finding ways to make everything a little better than it was before.

"I like building things, working with people, and finding ways to make everything a little better than it was before."

My expertise lies in bringing ambitious dreams to life - the kind of dreams that have served hundreds of thousands of people, won prestigious awards, and sparked national discourse. I pair operational rigor with clear, compelling communication to build momentum, align people around shared goals, and drive transformational change for mission-driven organizations and individuals.

I founded adva studios because I believe the most important work in the world is often done by people who are stretched too thin or under-resourced, and need a strategic partner who can move as fast as they do. That's where we come in.

Whether we're helping a nonprofit clarify its five-year strategy, supporting a public figure navigate a high-stakes communications moment, or building the operational infrastructure that lets a startup finally scale, we show up with the same thing each time: genuine care, hard-won experience, and a deep belief that small, deliberate actions can create the best waves.

Work Together

Let's build something meaningful

Whether you're at the beginning of something new or in the middle of something complex, I'd love to hear what you're working on.
