Summary: Let's face it: Money is a leading cause of divorce in both first families and remarried families. Let's tame this tiger, get a grip on what money is exactly, and how you can put a plan in place that will increase harmony and decrease relationship discord. Join Peggy Nolan and Erin Erickson as they dish tips, tools, and advice with Katherine Nelson-Reid. About Katherine: Katherine “Kat” Nelson-Reid, Managing Director of Finance & Business Operations, possesses what at first may seem like an unusual amalgamation of skills and characteristics, but upon meeting her, you’ll see how her complex blend of talent and work experience clicks into place. With more than 15 years of corporate operational experience, Kat began her career as an auditor while still in college. There, the firm’s managing partner called upon her to lead numerous national initiatives, experience she later parlayed into starting her own consulting business. She catapulted her expertise beyond accounting and finance into business operations spanning marketing, finance, legal, human resources and process management, and then left the corporate world to establish a business consulting firm where she specialized in process implementation, change management, growth strategy development and start-up consulting for clients. Born and raised in the South, Kat’s career and penchant for skyscrapers, fine dining and traffic jams brought her to Chicago. When she’s not working, you can find her running around after her three daughters and hanging out with her husband, friends and family. She’s a fixture in the Chicago technology community speaking and supporting start-up and women in business initiatives. She is a true foodie, coffee addict, wine enthusiast and teaches the occasional yoga class. And yes, Kat is a Stepmom!
