Dr. Kathryn Messegee, PhD (Guru Kathryn)
Owner and CEO
Dr. Kathryn Messegee, known as Guru Kathryn, is an American-born humanitarian, advisor, author, composer and artist with more than 22 years of industry experience. Her summer job at 16 was doing scientific research at NASA. Before her 25th birthday she earned her Ph.D in Mathematics (Specialty: Nonmonotonic Reasoning) and was speaking to conferences on human reasoning and how to make the infinite finite. A hyper-polymath, her career has enjoyed a ride through six different industries where she gathered the expertise and the patience to undertake a project as big and as important as Geode. In each of these, the theme is always the same: aggregating seemingly unrelated perspectives to distill a new approach for accelerated results. She has published 17 books, hundreds of articles and papers, dozens of unique art pieces and released 6 albums.
