Kathleen Tong,
Managing Director

Kathleen joined BRANDspeak to channel her passion for developing high-performing talent while leveraging her vast experience garnered over her 15+ years in top professional services firms, retail and hospitality organizations. Kathleen’s breadth and depth of business experience spans many marketing disciplines from digital marketing, personalization, IP development research and branding, across industries.

Prior to joining BRANDspeak, Kathleen was at the Boston Consulting Group where she played a key role in transforming several Fortune 100 companies through digital marketing and personalization initiatives. During her time in consulting, she realized her talent for spotting and developing potential in others and was selected to join their rotational coaching team. This led to her decision to pursue coaching and talent development full-time.

Her natural ability to deeply connect with others is a catalyst for meaningful growth through curiosity and self-discovery.  She creates a psychologically safe and collaborative environment in which she helps clients explore and express their gifts and talents and overcome potentially career-limiting obstacles.

She was a member of various affiliation groups including the BCG Asian Diversity Network, Women@BCG and Pride@BCG. She is currently a student at the Co-Active Training Institute. Kathleen lives in Los Angeles with her partner Shawn and their cat Moco.  She enjoys yoga, meditation, cooking and music.
