Kate Fisher Baumann (B’07)
Partner and Head of Investor Relations, Empyrean Capital Partners

What is your favorite Georgetown memory?

Watching Georgetown reach the Final Four in 2007, my senior year. The whole campus came alive in a way I’d never seen before or since. Pure electricity.

What is the biggest impact Georgetown has had on your personal or professional life?

The alumni network. Georgetown connected me to people who have opened doors for me personally and professionally throughout my career. I’m deeply grateful, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without it.

What excited you most about leading the Women of Georgetown Initiative and being a part of the inaugural Board?

Serving on an inaugural board means shaping the foundation, setting the tone, and creating a community that will outlast any one of us. Being trusted to help that for Georgetown women is both an honor and a responsibility I take seriously.

What part of the Women of Georgetown mission resonates with you the most?

Supporting women through every stage of life, personally and professionally. Our needs and ambitions evolve, and having a network that grows with us makes all the difference.

What is the best way women can support each other?

Show up and open doors. The most meaningful support I’ve received came from women who made an introduction, vouched for me in a room I wasn’t in, or simply offered honest advice when I needed it. Celebrate each other’s wins, share what you know, and reach back to pull the next woman forward. When one of us rises, we all do.
