Katie Milton

Global Head of Content and Production

Meet Katie Milton, the creative powerhouse behind ClassBento's global editorial department. Back in 2019, when ClassBento was a burgeoning startup with two co-founders and a free workspace at the Sydney Startup Hub, Katie jumped on board determined to share the inspiring stories of local creatives with the world.

Katie firmly believes that creativity is the key to a happy life, and she's on a mission to prove it. With her infectious enthusiasm and knack for storytelling, Katie has established and scaled ClassBento's editorial department across Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Day-to-day there’s nothing she loves more than drawing on her bag of SEO tricks to promote teachers’ workshops and empower the editorial team to develop new skills and find that perfect word.

When she's not busy crafting content or scouting out amazing teachers to feature, you can find Katie exploring the local art scene, tending to her ever-growing family of houseplants, or trying to surf the whitewash. A good reminder that we all start somewhere and often the best thing you can do is dive in!
