Kathy has spent her career representing companies at the intersection of technology and the fundamentals of modern life—work, entertainment and transportation. Today, she leads Fragomen teams engaging with two of the firm’s most significant clients: global high-tech innovators that boast a worldwide presence, employees in dozens of countries and robust attention from thousands of recruits worldwide.
Kathy focuses on building immigration policies and programs for these clients from the ground up and ensuring their systems remain fine-tuned and efficacious once they are in place. She strives to streamline complicated processes—creating simple, transparent systems that minimize client effort and expense while maximizing transparency and choice. Key to her success is a deep understanding of technology—both her clients’ and Fragomen’s.
As a member of Fragomen’s technology committee, Kathy helps shape the direction and implementation of the firm’s renowned immigration management platforms and applications; as long-time counsel to clients at the apex of the technology industry, she is entrusted with building solutions that are integrated with the unique, home-grown systems her clients use to manage employee movement.
