The story begins decades ago, with a handful of pioneers — and Katharine Giovanni was one of them.

If you looked around the United States back then, you might have found two dozen concierge services, but certainly no more than that. Sensing a need, Katharine propelled her meeting planning business into something more cutting edge: a company that could offer concierge services and products to an eclectic range of industries that had yet to discover the world of the concierge.

Katharine has gone from being a meeting planner and concierge for Fortune 500 executives to becoming one of the world’s leading international concierge trainers and consultants. As Triangle Concierge’s senior trainer and speaker, Katharine has taught business and motivational workshops to groups, individuals, hospitals, small businesses and large corporations. She is also the Chairman of the Board and Founder of the International Concierge and Lifestyle Management Association.

A dynamic motivational speaker and a member of the National Speakers Association, Katharine has appeared at seminars and conferences around the world. She is the author of three books including her latest book, Going Above and Beyond, an Award-Winning Finalist in the National Best Books 2010 Awards.

Raised in New York City, Katharine earned a B.A. from Lake Forest College and currently lives in North Carolina with her husband Ron and two sons.
