About Kay:
Kay grew up in Wisconsin, a US state with almost precisely the same population as Denmark, a similar GDP, and a similar climate.
She graduated magna cum laude from New York University, where she studied journalism and art history, and worked as a reporter in Berlin, Germany and Hong Kong before returning to New York, where she worked for Dow Jones Financial News, CNN, and as an editor at ABCnews.com.
Her freelance journalistic work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the Guardian, Sports Illustrated, Mother Jones, the South China Morning Post, Marie Claire, and in the Danish newspapers Berlingske and BT.
After moving to Denmark, Kay worked at Danske Bank, Carlsberg Breweries, and Saxo Bank before starting her own company, KXMGroup, which provides communication and voiceover services. Kay is the English-language voice of the audioguide at So Danish!, the permanent exhibit of Danish design at the Danish Architecture Center in Copenhagen.
Kay began producing the How to Live in Denmark podcast in the summer of 2013. Since then, the podcasts have been downloaded more than two million times.
Kay is the author of six books about Denmark and is a popular keynote speaker on Danish culture and Danish work culture. She speaks to corporate teams, at municipal events, to newly-arrived university students, and to visiting business delegations from around the world.
