Kathryn N. Reid

As head of LIMRA’s Talent Solutions, Kathy Reid leads a professional team of training and development experts to deliver global solutions to help member companies recruit, select, assess and onboard new talent. She is also responsible for advising domestic and international project teams, developing selection products, and consulting members on recruiting and selection process.

Reid joined LIMRA in 1989 as a research analyst, rising through the ranks to assume her current role in 2008. An experienced facilitator, she works with companies to evaluate selection process effectiveness and to develop new approaches in recruiting and selection. Reid also has trained thousands of field leaders on how to best recruit, select, and retain top talent — as well as numerous field agents on how to hire sub-producers and office staff, and how to develop their own sales skills.

She earned a Bachelor of Science in economics from the University of Connecticut and a Master of Science in organizational behavior from the University of Hartford.
