Katie Hill will serve as Como Friends’ next president. Hill will succeed the interim President Jackie Sticha.
Hill currently serves as the vice president of engagement and chief innovation officer at Milkweed Editions, a national independent publisher. In her role, she “oversaw communications, organizational planning, retail and earned revenue strategies, and cross-functional team leadership.”
Como Friends is the nonprofit partner of Como Park Zoo & Conservatory in St. Paul.
Andy Davis, board chair of Como Friends, said Hill “brings a rare blend of creativity, strategy, and heart. She understands what it means to lead with purpose and partnership. Her deep roots in the Twin Cities, her passion for equity and access, and her track record of innovation make her exactly the right leader to guide Como Friends into its next chapter.”
Hill is a lifelong resident of St. Paul. In a statement, she says that she’s a “longtime champion” of Como Friends.
“Como is where I bring my kids to explore, reflect, and recharge,” Hill said. “It’s not just a place — it’s a living ecosystem of wonder, learning, and belonging. I’m honored to join Como Friends at this important moment and excited to reimagine how communities connect with public cultural spaces.”
Her term begins on July 14 just ahead of the nonprofit’s Sunset Affairs’ Summer Gala. Hill’s tenure will include a transition period alongside Schita.
