Katie Truitt

Katie was born in St. Louis but grew up in Arkansas after moving there when she was 10. She was a Razorback at the University of Arkansas where she earned a degree in design. Her first job out of college was at a residential furniture store but Katie realized VERY early on she did not want to “sell furniture to women who wouldn’t make a decision.”

Katie moved to the Steelcase dealer in Springfield, MO but when an opportunity with Steelcase in St. Louis came, she took it, working two years in administration before becoming Showroom Manager at Color Art. Once here she moved to outside sales and gradually into leadership as first a Sales Trainer then Team Leader for New Business Development.

Katie’s relationships with St. Luke’s and Washington University allowed her to help with strategic education and healthcare initiatives. When it came time to launch a fully-focused healthcare initiative, Katie was, naturally, included in the effort.
