Professional Journey

Kerrigan says she started her first company at 23. Kathryn Kerrigan Footwear was a direct-to-consumer shoe brand, and she describes it as one of the first fashion businesses to sell online. She credits it with teaching her to build a business across technology, e-commerce, marketing, operations and growth. The brand is also the basis for the Crain’s Chicago, Inc. Magazine and Entrepreneur Magazine recognition she lists.

She then moved into corporate work at Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd., where, by her account, she led e-commerce and technology initiatives and secured capital for transformation work.

She then founded UnKommon Revolution, where the company says she has spent nearly a decade. It advises clients on AI and digital transformation. Her argument is that most transformation projects fail for mundane reasons: executives are not aligned, governance is missing and results are not measured honestly. The firm’s method centres on executive alignment, project governance and measurement, and platforms from established vendors. Its current focus is machine learning and generative AI for automating business processes. She says she has worked with companies ranging from Fortune 500 corporations to small and mid-sized businesses in e-commerce, retail, distribution, discrete and process manufacturing, high-tech electronics and professional services.

She also founded Encourage Resources, a consultancy that helps employers understand, support and use neurodivergent employees. She speaks on AI in business, entrepreneurship, digital transformation, women in technology and neurodiversity at work.
