Following her career at Chrysler, Kathy joined Right Management Consultants as President, Great Lakes Region.  While at Right she was responsible for all operations of their offices in the Great Lakes region including Southfield, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and Toledo.  Her key roles included leading their Organizational Consulting, Key Executive and Business Development activities, as well as growing their customer base.  During her tenure at Right Great Lakes she led them to year-after-year records for growth and profit.

In July 2008, Kathy joined Henry Ford Health System as Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer.  The two greatest challenges in this  recent career move are improving the quality of HR services at Henry Ford Health System during tough economic times and recruiting quality health care professionals, especially qualified nurses, when so many of them are joining smaller companies and organizations caring for the rapidly growing number of aging Americans.

Throughout her career, Kathy has received numerous awards and recognition for her professional achievements.  She was featured in Human Resource World’s “Top 50 HR Executives in the World” (2000); Automotive News’ “100 Leading Women in North America’s Auto Industry” (2000); Crain’s Detroit Business’ “Top 100 Women in Michigan” (1997); and Crain’s “100 Most Influential Women” (2007), just to mention a few.
