About Kathy Cabello

Kathy Cabello received her B.S. in Computer Science Engineering from Eastern Michigan University and her MBA from the University of Notre Dame. She began her career as a computer engineer. While in the corporate arena, she transitioned to marketing and customer account management, where her love for strategy and marketing was born. This led to her starting Cabello Associates, a full service, marketing consultancy. As a bilingual and bicultural professional, she brings an added wealth of marketing knowledge that transcends both the general market as well as the Hispanic market. Her experience and success in the business world includes working with clients regionally, nationally and internationally.

Lacy Executive Leadership Series Class XXIV.
