Kate Emery, who founded Walker in 1986, retains her ownership role and that of company strategic visionary, has stepped back from day-to-day management responsibilities to “slow down, travel more, paint, and help promote the work of reSET", a nonprofit she started in 2007 to help CT social entrepreneurs launch, scale, and grow. Kate is proud that The Walker Group is a social enterprise which commits one-third of its distributed profits to the community, one-third to employees and one-third to shareholders.

The shift in leadership is part of Kate’s goal to ensure that Walker remain committed to employees and the community. “While the more typical next step as owner would be to sell Walker to the highest bidder, my ultimate goal is to see the company preserved as a social enterprise whose success is shared by the community in which it thrives.” Kate been impressed to see the true partnership that Jessica and Todd bring to leadership. She continued, “with a combined tenure of over 25 years at Walker, they have been an important part of our client service culture and organization as a social enterprise.”
