About Kate Paine:

Kate Paine, Founder and President of Standing Out Online
Kate Paine, Founder and President of Standing Out Online

Kate Paine helps executives and entrepreneurs stand out online so they become a recognized authority in their marketplace or industry, and a respected asset to their company and clients.

She uses her journalism, PR and marketing experience to tease out her clients’ compelling stories to position them as industry visionaries or influencers both online and off. Identifying an individual’s “slice-of-life” story makes her expertise uncommon in the world of online personal promotion and social selling. She’s an expert on using LinkedIn as a powerful personal branding tool, speaks at national marketing conferences, and teaches LinkedIn for corporate sales training.

She’s also a volunteer traveling faculty member – teaching how to leverage LinkedIn – for The Honor Foundation (honor.org). THF is a nonprofit that provides an intense career development program for Navy SEALs and other individuals in the Special Forces community who are transitioning from their active duty military service into a civilian career.
