As Associate Director of Client Service & Operations, Kathleen Hammond is the engine room of Mainsail Asset Management. Since joining the firm in 2025, she has managed the day-to-day operations that keep everything on track — investor statements and reporting, regulatory filings, account paperwork, and coordination with the custodians and partners Mainsail works with every day. She has also taken the lead in modernizing the firm's systems, building streamlined, reliable processes that let Mainsail's advisors spend their time where it matters most: with clients.
Kathleen came to financial services by way of the classroom. A graduate of Mississippi State University, she spent five years teaching history and coaching high school soccer — a background that sharpened the organization, patience, and clear communication she brings to every client interaction. She believes great service lives in the details: the follow-up that happens without being asked, and the sense that someone behind the scenes is always looking out for you.
A Birmingham native, Kathleen can be found outside the office watching sports (especially soccer) on the weekends, spending time with family and friends, and chasing her toddler, Cash, around with her husband, Jay.
