Katherine “Kat” Harris

Kat Harris joined ECPR Texas in September 2014 and has almost 20 years of public relations experience. As senior vice president, Harris leads strategy for a diverse roster of clients including St. David’s HealthCare, Communities in Schools of Central Texas, Texas Health Action, Ballet Austin and H-E-B, among others. Harris led the firm in supporting the 2025 Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project with Austin Habitat for Humanity, which brought together thousands of volunteers in Travis County to help build 25 affordable homes in just 5 days.

Prior to joining ECPR Texas, Harris spent six years in New York City developing and executing PR campaigns for national and global brands including Capital One, Timberland, Gillette, The Art of Shaving and Hewlett-Packard. Harris played a key role in the execution of product launches geared towards young trendsetters–which included brand repositioning for Timberland, the launch of VenusEmbrace Disposables (the first five-blade disposable razor), and the GilletteFusion ProGlide razor.

In 2025, Harris was recognized as an Austin Under 40 Finalist. She is currently a member of the Human Rights Campaign and Women Communicators of Austin. As a native Austinite and a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, she’s proud to call Austin home.
