Kate Gratto, vice president of Process Management at Prudential
Financial, Inc. (NYSE: PRU), was recently named one of Workforce
magazine’s 2013 Game Changers.
“What makes Kate successful is her ability to juggle both strategy and
tactics,” said Marietta Cozzi, vice president and head of Prudential
Staffing. “Kate can see the big picture in any given project and
connects the dots with other firm-wide initiatives. At the same time,
she thinks through the details needed to follow through on her ideas.
Together, these skills lead to successful execution of high-quality
deliverables time and time again.”
Since joining Prudential in 2000, Gratto has overseen operations and
technology that support hiring across Prudential’s U.S. business and
corporate functions. Throughout her tenure, Gratto led a
cross-functional project with Prudential Retirement to ensure
preparedness and compliance with more than 135 provisions of the Pension
Protection Act of 2006. She also helped to manage the transition of New
Jersey’s employee deferred compensation plan from the state to the
company.
