Kate Vitasek, member of the graduate and executive education faculty at the University of Tennessee, Haslam College of Business, is a renowned author and consultant who is best known for creating the Vested business model, which is a collaborative approach to outsourcing and supplier relationships that is focused on creating value for all parties involved.

In 2013, Vitasek published her groundbreaking book, "Vested: How P&G, McDonald's, and Microsoft are Redefining Winning in Business Relationships." The book introduced the Vested business model, which stems from award-winning research by the University of Tennessee funded by the United States Air Force to find a “better way to outsource.”

Passionate in her quest to help companies transform their business relationships, Kate inspires and motivates companies around the world on Vested’s five proven “rules” for achieving transformational results.

She has received numerous awards and recognition for her contributions to the field of business relationships, including being named a "Pro to Know" by Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine and a "Top 25 Women in Supply Chain" by the Institute for Supply Management. She has appeared on Bloomberg radio, CNN, NPR, and Fox Business News. Her work has been featured in over 300 articles in publications including Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Chief Executive Magazine, CIO Magazine, and The Wall Street Journal.
