Northrop & Johnson Welcomes Katheryne Phillips as Charter Broker in San Diego

Northrop & Johnson is pleased to announce the addition of Katheryne Phillips to its global team as Charter Broker, based in the San Diego office.

Katheryne brings a wealth of experience across luxury hospitality and private yachting. With a background that spans high fashion, private estates, and the yachting industry, she has built a career defined by creativity, precision, and a passion for creating unforgettable experiences. As a Charter Broker, she specializes in curating bespoke yacht adventures that blend dream destinations with thoughtful design and world-class service.

Originally from Los Angeles, Katheryne began her career as a fashion buyer, collaborating with European designers and high-profile clients who inspired her eye for detail and appreciation for refined living.

Her path then evolved into private chef work in premier residences across Newport Beach and Los Angeles, where she created one-of-a-kind dining experiences that combined artistry and hospitality. From there, she shifted to life at sea, working aboard yachts, where her love for food, travel, and luxury service came together seamlessly.

This journey ultimately led her to Northrop & Johnson, where she continues to channel her expertise and passion for delivering personalized, luxury-driven experiences. Katheryne takes pride in understanding her clients’ unique visions and bringing them to life through charter experiences that are both effortless and extraordinary.
