Before assuming her current role, Kathy served as a Managing Director on the Prudential Financial, Inc.'s (PFI) Client Management team, where she maintained relationships with Senior Executives at PFI’s largest clients and financial partners. Kathy was actively engaged in the PGIM Women’s Advisory Council and served on the Board of the firm's Asian Pacific Islander Americans (APA) BRG.

Prior to joining PFI in 2011, Kathy was with JPMorgan Chase for 17 years, most recently in their Diversified Investment Banking Coverage group. Prior to that, Kathy held leadership roles in JPM’s Debt Capital Markets, Acquisition Finance, and Loan Capital Markets businesses. She was deeply involved in talent and diversity efforts, including being one of the founding members of the JPM Women’s Efficacy Program.
