Kathleen Brown claims many professional distinctions, any one of which could stand as the capstone to a distinguished career: senior leader at global investment giant Goldman Sachs, President, Bank of America’s Private Bank, California State Treasurer, Trustee on the boards of CalPERS and CalSTRS, Cochair of the Council of Institutional Investors, Commissioner of the Los Angeles Board of Public Works. Her leadership in public service and at the highest levels of the financial services industry brings a special understanding and insider’s perspective on how to get things done. Her work in energy includes more than $4.2 billion in California water and power bond financings. Her twelve‑year tenure at Goldman Sachs was marked by helping nonprofit healthcare institutions in California and the Midwest finance their capital needs as well as negotiate the challenges of healthcare reform. She joins Manatt as a partner in the Los Angeles office, along with having significant responsibilities in the firm’s New York and San Francisco offices.
