Tristan brings the house down with their wisdom, love, earnest drive for change, modeling, and highly skilled facilitation and teaching. Their work is truly transformational. We’ve learned so much about how to deeply engage in solidarity through their counsel.

long bio.
Tristan Katz (they/he) is a business consultant, marketing strategist, and equity-inclusion facilitator with a lifelong commitment to human rights and justice. Their work is rooted in an intersectional, anti-oppression lens that integrates decades of study into culturally competent marketing and LGBTQ+ Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) consulting. Tristan supports individuals and organizations in aligning their values with their messaging, cultivating practices that prioritize authenticity, solidarity, and sustainability over performance and perfectionism.
Tristan has had the honor of collaborating with authors, educators, movement leaders, and culture-makers—folks whose work shapes consciousness and community. Their clients often lead the way in access and inclusion across industries, with audiences of 20k+ and features in outlets like NPR, The New York Times, NBC, and USA Today..
Beyond their work with individuals, Tristan has consulted with institutions like Stanford University, HubSpot, Portland Public Schools, Port of Portland, and Williston Northampton School to help build more affirming, values-aligned practices across departments and teams.
Tristan currently serves as COO and Director of Programming at Fruition Growth Network, a platform supporting solopreneurs and small businesses with accessible education, coaching, and community.
A longtime student—and occasional teacher—of yoga, Tristan has completed over 1,000 hours of training and was recognized by Yoga Journal as one of fifteen game-changers in 2021. He also served on the Board of Directors for Accessible Yoga until its dissolution in 2024, supporting its mission of expanding access to yoga for marginalized communities.
At the heart of their work is a commitment to conscious, justice-oriented marketing—centering relationship over transaction, storytelling over selling, and action over performance. Tristan believes our marketing can be a vehicle for cultural change when rooted in truth, care, and accountability.
