“Kathleen has the savvy and persistence to get tough projects done. She joined our team at Ford as our first Senior Manager in Texas and Mountain states and had the hard task of putting together an initial strategy for the region. Kathleen brought her prior experience to bear and saw opportunity in unique business partnerships that we hadn't yet explored. She's a leader among her peers and quickly learned how to effectively navigate inside a large organization to gain visibility and buy in among leadership for projects crucial to her region.”
