On being named on the shortlist Kate commented “There are so many incredible people that were nominated for this year’s Power 100 and to be included on the shortlist is such an honour. The impact of major sight loss no longer has to be career ending, our world of technology, innovation and inspirational talented people makes the impossible, possible.”
