Meet Kat Davis | Co-Founder

We had the good fortune of connecting with Kat Davis and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kat, we’d love for you to start things off by telling us something about your industry that we and others not in the industry might be unaware of?
A lot of people are worried about how AI and automation might change the job market, or they assume that careers in tech are out of reach if they don’t already have a technical background. But the reality is, there are lots of opportunities in tech—many of which don’t require you to be an engineer or a programmer.

Take the Salesforce ecosystem, for example. It’s one of the fastest-growing areas in tech, projected to create 9.3 million new jobs and $1.6 trillion in new business revenue by 2026. These roles span industries like healthcare, retail, and finance, and many of those roles rely on skills that can be learned without an engineering or computer science degree. Tech careers are more accessible than ever—you don’t have to be a tech expert to start; you just have to be willing to learn.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
What sets Camp4 apart is our focus on practical, hands-on learning that prepares people for real-world careers. We don’t just teach concepts—we equip learners with the confidence and skills to excel in dynamic roles from day one, which is why enterprise professionals trust our programs.

We launched Camp4 to address the growing talent gap in the U.S. tech workforce. It wasn’t always easy—building effective programs and earning industry trust required constant iteration and listening to feedback. Along the way, we’ve learned that adaptability and staying aligned with market needs are critical to success.

I’m particularly excited about contributing to Houston’s growth in tech and innovation. This is such a unique city that has been and will remain a leader in energy, and I see the tech industry coming in as a powerful partner to keep Houston great.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’m gonna get a bit specific.

Start the day off at Memorial Park. If you play tennis, grab a court and get a match or two in.

Afterwards, head to Tacos a Go Go on White Oak for a Tater Tot taco and a frozen Paloma.

Go get cleaned up and then stop at Montrose Cheese & Wine for their sandwich of the day. Don’t even ask what it is before you get one – you can’t really go wrong.

Walk off your food either along the Buffalo Bayou or head to the Museum District and check out the area near the Glassell Building. There’s a great walk up along a sloped roof of the building that takes you up to the rooftop where you can get a great view of the city. Time it to a sunset, and then head back north into Montrose for oysters and a martini at Clark’s.

End your evening with a cold beer at the West Alabama Ice House.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I’m going to shout out Paulo Kaiser, who has been a great influence on my approach to career and life in general. He represents whom I aspire to be like. He was the COO of a company called Bluewolf, where my career really took shape. He’s not only built companies and guided others to success but did so with a no-nonsense approach while still having fun doing it. We also share the same wry sense of humor, so if he ever sees this display of sentimentality, he will never let me live it down.

Anyway, my advice to other people looking to take on a challenge, whatever it may be to them: find your Paulo.
