Kate Lingoni: LSU Oceanography Researcher to No-BS Fractional COO
In this inspiring episode of Clocking Out, Kate Lingoni, shares her amazing story of being a researcher, entrepreneur, actor, mom, and business owner whose career journey has been anything but conventional. Born in Metairie, Louisiana, Kate went to Archbishop Chapelle High School and later graduated from Louisiana State University. Kate’s early aspirations were rooted in a desire to serve others, initially wanting to become a police officer, but she later shifted her focus to Forensics and ultimately found her calling in Biology, specializing in Oceanography.

It was during this time that she describes her invaluable experience, which would later carry into various roles in acting, marketing, business consulting, and entrepreneurship.
After investing in a business coach to help bring clarity around her business career, Kate launched BonBon Strategic. Her focus is combining her background in science, business, and the arts to provide virtual operational support to small and mid-sized businesses. What sets her apart is her hands-on approach: Kate doesn’t just advise – she executes, helping business owners overcome operational obstacles, streamline systems, and reach their goals. Whether working with sole proprietors or family-owned businesses, Kate uses her unique blend of transferable skills and natural talents to create meaningful change.
