Managing costs is a very important part of managing Workers' Compensation and we know Kathy will keep us informed of the best ways to help Neenah save time and money.

Background
Kathy began her career in the risk management industry in 1974 as a field claims adjuster, specializing in liability and Workers’ Compensation claims for insurance carriers until 1989.
Kathy moved into corporate risk management at Beatrice Cheese in Waukesha, WI where she oversaw the self-insured claims program for 10 food manufacturing plants in 7 states and created the risk management department. She experienced the challenges and rewards of transforming an unruly and costly claims history to a workable strategy that saved significant dollars on the bottom line.
As the Director of the Wisconsin Council of Safety, Kathy created educational programs for risk management professionals. Immediately before beginning her consulting career in 1996, she worked as a Workers’ Compensation Consultant for an insurance agency.
Through Kathy’s network of business associates and friends, she has access to Workers’ Compensation and liability attorneys. She also has a network of safety consultants to supplement her own knowledge and experience in those areas. A licensed insurance agent, Kathy keeps abreast of the insurance marketplace and risk issues through continuing education.
