Katherine Lam is Vice President at Infinia Foresight, where she  leads the cultural insights team, qualitative research and the Global Source network.

While completing her Sociology degree at Princeton University, Kat was witness to a quiet social revolution that became her senior thesis topic: the social networks of Princeton's gay men were realigning through the Internet.

Kat later translated her skill for observation and ethnography into business acumen at Sapient's Experience Modeling arm as well as Datamonitor's Technology group. Prior to joining IF, Kat directed the future forecasting department and global network at Faith Popcorn's BrainReserve. Kat has guest lectured for Parsons’ Design and Management program, spoken at the Future Trends conference, and been interviewed by PBS.

Having left Singapore at age 17 to study at Princeton and La Nouvelle Sorbonne (Paris), Kat blends a unique outsider-insider perspective, recasting American consumer behavior in an international context.
