For more than a decade, she has been at the forefront of ResearchOps. The inventor of the widely used acronym PWDR (pau·duh) for “people who do research,” Kate also wrote some of the earliest blog posts about setting up research operations, founded the ResearchOps Community, and launched the #WhatisResearchOps movement, putting ResearchOps on the map. In 2019, she stepped back from the ResearchOps Community and started the Cha Cha Club, a members’ club for full-time ResearchOps professionals, which she runs to this day. Over twenty years, Kate has delivered operations in e-commerce, education, government, retail, and tech. She built and managed the Atlassian ResearchOps team, widely recognised as the benchmark for scaling research services and systems to hundreds of people.  🔎 Where to follow Kate  LinkedIn / Website / Cha Cha Club / Substack About this podcast: Welcome to UX Research Geeks, where Tina Ličková, a researcher and strategist, talks with researchers from around the globe about topics that matter to them.  🐝 Brought to you by UXtweak, an all-in-one UX research software.
