Kate Reid

Kate Reid is the founder and co-director of Lune Croissanterie, a business she established solo in 2012, that has gone on to revolutionise the art of croissant-making. After studying aerospace engineering at RMIT University, Kate landed her dream job as an aerodynamicist for the Williams F1 team in the United Kingdom. After three years working in the elite world of F1, however, she came to the realisation that the world of engineering and F1 was not a great fit for her. Instead, she turned her technical know-how and love of precision to pastries. In 2022, Kate published Lune: Croissants All Day, All Night and, in 2023, was awarded the RMIT Honorary Doctorate of Business honoris causa.
