Kate Hanaghan

Kate Hanaghan is Chief Research Officer at TechMarketView, a role she has held since 2017. She is the Partner responsible for advancing TechMarketView’s research agenda, ensuring our analysis supports our clients to make smart decisions, and running our expert analyst team.

She also manages TechMarketView’s largest research outputs, including Market Trends & Forecasts, Supplier Rankings, and the Market Readiness Index for tech buyers. She works very closely with some of TechMarketView’s largest clients, continuing to deliver analysis and advisory engagements alongside her management responsibilities.

Kate joined the company in 2012 as a Research Director and subsequently focused on building a body of research to help buyers and suppliers understand the burgeoning cloud market in the UK. Her analysis and work with clients led to her promotion five years later to the TechMarketView management team.

In 2023, Kate was part of the team that undertook a management buyout of TechMarketView, 16 years after the firm was founded. Along with fellow Partners, Deb Seth and Georgina O’Toole, her aim is to deliver both excellence and value for clients.

Prior to joining TechMarketView, Kate was co-founder of K2 Advisory where she held key commercial responsibilities and ran the independent research programme for CIOs. She began her analyst career at Ovum, working with other key members of the TechMarketView leadership/founding team. Prior to this, Kate was a journalist and online TV reporter specialising in technology and the channel.

Kate encourages her analyst team to be themselves at work, injecting their own style into their research outputs and advisory sessions. She believes everyone benefits from this, including TechMarketView clients.

In addition to her role at TechMarketView, Kate is a member of the Prince’s Trust Technology Leadership Group where she is Chair of the Business Development subcommittee.
