Katie started coding when she was 12 and used her work allowance to buy the latest gadgets she could get her hands on. By the time she graduated high school, she had already earned networking certifications and developed a passion for discovering what new technology could do.

For more than 20 years, Emmy Award-winning tech expert Katie Linendoll has been the person TV calls when it's time to showcase the coolest gadgets and innovations. From AI to smart home gear to the latest must-have tech, Katie's job has basically been testing awesome things and helping millions of viewers understand what's new—and what's actually worth it.

After thousands of TV segments on outlets like NBC's TODAY, The Weather Channel, and SiriusXM, Katie noticed something: everywhere she went people asked the same question…

"What's new in tech?"

And more importantly—what's actually worth discovering.

That's what inspired Katie.gifts—a place where Katie shares standout gadgets, clever finds, and gift ideas she genuinely recommends.

Beyond television, Katie also emcees and keynotes events around the world for leading brands and organizations including Mercedes-Benz, Lenovo, Candy Crush, and the Edison Awards, bringing her signature energy and tech insight to global stages.

Off camera, Katie lives a faith-filled, active lifestyle, supports charities helping Veterans and retired K9s, and releases music as a charting country artist whose songs have helped raise over $50,000 for Veteran nonprofits.
