Kate Hutchison-Rose is the Founder of Lasso, a full-service talent and consulting company helping creators and brands navigate the fast-evolving creator economy. She is also Senior Director of Podcast Revenue Partnerships at Audacy, where she works with creators to develop custom brand integrations and innovative revenue opportunities.

Before launching Lasso in 2019, Kate spent over a decade in New York’s book publishing world, holding roles at WME, Amazon’s Kindle, and as Director of the Hachette Speakers Bureau. Her transition into podcasting came through leadership roles at SiriusXM’s AdsWizz and Simplecast, and later Acast’s Podchaser.

Since joining Audacy in 2024, Kate has driven remarkable growth across her division — taking it from a $10M deficit to $14M in revenue in under two years. Her team’s revenue has tripled under her leadership, fueled by her deep understanding of how creators build sustainable businesses.

A lifelong champion of storytelling, Kate draws on her background in literary and audio publishing to empower creators to protect their IP, diversify their income, and turn creativity into opportunity. She lives in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, where she’s usually surrounded by stacks of books and a running list of must-listen podcasts.
