Kay Leslie "Katie" Page (born 1956) is an Australian corporate leader currently serving as the CEO of the retail giant Harvey Norman. In 2015, she was recognized as the fourth most influential woman in business on a prominent industry list. She is a strong advocate for professional sports and actively champions the advancement of women in athletics.

Early life and education

Page was born in Mareeba, located in Queensland, Australia. Due to her father's role as a bank manager, the family frequently relocated, leading her to spend her childhood in places such as St George, Rockhampton, and Brisbane. She completed her education at Brisbane State High School in 1973. Initially, she aimed to pursue a career in surveying but reconsidered after learning about the limited earning potential for women in that field. At 19, after moving to Sydney, she took part in a charity intelligence test event where Gerry Harvey served as a judge. Six years later, Harvey recruited her as an assistant at his newly established Harvey Norman outlet. Throughout her early tenure, Page gained experience in advertising procurement, sales, marketing, and public relations, while also supporting Harvey with horse syndication ventures. They married in 1988 when she was 32 and he was 49; she is his second spouse.

Career

Established in 1982 by Gerry Harvey and Ian Norman, Harvey Norman welcomed Page to its inaugural store in 1983 as an assistant. She ascended to the CEO position in 1999, with Harvey assuming the role of executive chairman.

Under Page’s direction, the company broadened its reach internationally, expanding into New Zealand (1996), Singapore (2000), Malaysia, Slovenia (2003), and Ireland, while also launching online retail operations in 2001. By June 2015, Harvey Norman operated 277 locations across eight nations, achieving revenues of AUD 4.9 billion and net profits of AUD 165 million. Her annual base remuneration was AUD 2.07 million in 2014.

In recognition of her leadership contributions, Katie Page-Harvey was inducted into the Queensland Business Leaders Hall of Fame in 2021.

Other activities

Together with Harvey, Page co-owns the Magic Millions thoroughbred auction business, four breeding farms, and approximately 1,000 racehorses. In 2004, she broke new ground as the first female appointed to the National Rugby League (NRL) board and spearheaded the NRL's Women in League program launched in 2005. Harvey Norman sponsored the NRL State of Origin series from 1997 to 2012 and continues to support Women in League rounds along with Indigenous All Stars fixtures.

A dedicated proponent of women’s participation in sports, Page introduced a AUD 500,000 Racing Women's Incentive Bonus for female-owned or leased horses competing at the Jeep Magic Millions 2YO Classic between 2013 and 2015. In 2015, she extended sponsorship to the Auburn Giants—a predominantly female Muslim team competing in Australian Football League—and later that year backed an all-female racing team at the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 event.

Her investments also include high-end real estate projects such as a stake in Byron at Byron Resort and Spa and developing M3565 at Main Beach, Queensland—a boutique residential complex featuring apartments priced at an average of AUD 17,000 per square metre.

Personal life

Page and Harvey are parents to two children. She is passionate about playing badminton.

In 2015, she attained fourth place on The Australian Business Review’s ranking of the "50 most powerful women in business".
