Katie McKenzie

Katie guides Garney’s national marketing team with a focus on procuring value-based and collaborative delivery work, in addition to overseeing the development and acceleration of Garney’s brand, marketing strategy, and corporate communication. Since joining Garney in 2013, Katie has contributed to the successful award of more than $2 billion in water and wastewater infrastructure projects.

Prior to Garney, Katie worked for a multi-discipline architecture and engineering firm based in Kansas City. It was by happenstance that Katie got her start in the architecture/engineering/construction (A/E/C) industry as a marketing professional, though Katie quickly became captured with the endless opportunities and challenges of this rewarding industry. She is passionate about serving as an advocate to educate prospective professionals about A/E/C career paths and serves as an ambassador with any opportunity that comes her way. Katie has been a long-time member of the Society for Marketing Professional Services (SMPS), previously serving on committee and board positions for the SMPS Kansas City Chapter.

Katie is based in Garney’s Kansas City headquarters. She holds a degree in mass communications and public relations from Kansas State University and can often be found cheering on her beloved Wildcats.
