Kathleen Long

Kathleen has built and developed award-winning marketing, sales, success, support and operations teams, centered on principles of authenticity, hard work and empathy. As VP of Growth at RepairPal, Kathleen leads all partner and shop initiatives; including business development & strategy, operations, marketing, and customer success. Kathleen is absolutely insistent on making a difference for people and businesses, by connecting them with disruptive, useful technologies, aided by humans who are given space to be themselves at work. Kathleen helped transition a startup through a successful acquisition exit, created revenue and monetization streams that supported another startup going public and grew her career from a chair in a call center employee to a seat at the executive table in 10 years (happily mentoring others to do the same). Kathleen is proud to stand for ethical principles, and to be a female executive in a male-dominated industry. She has been described by some as the literal voice of the company, and has a laugh that once set off glass break alarms in a conference room.

Kathleen holds a degree in General Studies and Philosophy from the University of Nevada, Reno.
