Meg Catalano

Ms Catalano is currently the regional managing partner for the US and a member of the firm’s five-strong executive group, which is responsible for setting and implementing the strategic direction and business operations of the firm.

As the first global managing partner from an international office, she will be responsible for the strategic and operational management of the firm’s network of 48 offices, and will relocate to the firm’s London office in 2025.

She has been a partner of Kennedys since 2017 when Carroll McNulty & Kull (CMK) and Kennedys merged.

Ms Catalano said: “I am proud to be taking on this new role. When CMK first merged with Kennedys we had 1,700 people operating across 32 offices. Today, Kennedys has 2,900 people, operating across 48 offices in 21 countries.

“We have achieved so much, and I am honoured to help lead the firm through continued global growth to bring the firm’s vision and strategy to life, for our people and our clients.”
