Katie Stout

Director, Operations and Content Strategy

A strategic thinker and problem solver by nature, Katie develops content strategies and processes to elevate teams in the finance industry. Before joining Wentworth Financial Communications, Katie spent eight years at Dimensional Fund Advisors, a global factor-based investment manager with over $675 billion in AUM. At Dimensional, Katie worked in various marketing and operations roles—most notably, establishing the performance commentary business for Dimensional’s mutual funds and separate accounts. Under Katie’s guidance, the team experienced significant growth, and Dimensional asked Katie to expand the business to the EMEA and Asia-Pacific markets. She moved to London and spent three years developing marketing collateral and establishing distribution channels for the global institutional and financial advisor audiences. Katie then pivoted her efforts to operations within portfolio management, developing and managing a global project management platform for the team. Before joining Dimensional, Katie worked as a copy editor for the State of Texas and as an associate editor for a Texas-based magazine.
