Katerina Braga
Founder & Marketing Advisor
About
Hi, I'm Katerina. I work with independent consultants, interim managers and B2B executives in energy and industrial sectors who want to build market visibility, personal brand and a client pipeline that strengthens and expands their existing network. Many industrial companies grow faster than their commercial structures develop. Founders rely on personal relationships. Consultants rely on referrals. Visibility stays inconsistent and the pipeline becomes unpredictable. My job is to turn that into something clear and workable. LinkedIn is often part of the solution but rarely the whole answer. I've spent 15+ years in corporate communications and marketing in the energy sector, including senior roles at major companies such as DTEK and Naftogaz of Ukraine. That experience taught me how decisions are made in complex organisations, how trust cycles shape business development, and why credibility matters more than visibility. A few facts about me:- 15+ years in PR and Marketing across energy, gas, IT, and industrial sectors- ex-Head of Corporate and Marketing Communications at a company operating the largest underground gas storage facilities in Europe- Graduate of Oxford College of Marketing (CIM programme, 2025)- Certified LinkedIn Insider- Modern art lover I work in two ways. Some clients prefer to build the system with me and run it themselves. We work through marketing and sales fundamentals, content and outreach including LinkedIn together, and they take it from there. Others prefer to hand LinkedIn over completely. I manage positioning, ghostwriting of content, and outreach on their behalf, saving them 20+ hours every month. You can find details what I offer in the Featured section below. If you are looking to strengthen your position in an existing market, enter a new one, or build a client flow that does not depend entirely on who you know, feel free to message me or book a short call: https://zcal.co/katerinabraga/intro
