Kate Pangallo began her career in talent by accident as an intern at a fashion house. Tasked with the goal of sourcing talent from around the country in a few short weeks, she quickly fell into the world of talent acquisition and management. 13 years later, she has worked and led talent teams and focused on building talent strategies for Fortune 500, private, and non-profit organizations. She has a passion for developing and growing others and believes her greatest professional success has been watching those from her teams thrive in bigger and better roles. In her role at the Indy Chamber, Kate focuses on building unique talent attraction strategies and supporting key workforce partnerships as the Senior Director of Talent & Strategic Partnerships on the Regional Economic Development team. 

Kate has a passion for people and loves to help connect people to opportunities, passions, and new experiences. She serves by leading and leads by serving. 

Kate is a wife and mom of two daughters plus her golden retriever. She is a mix between homebody and adventurer and believes in the power of a great latte, glass of wine, or beer.
