Kat Tranel
Kat co-founded The Tranel Financial Group in 1988, where her attention to detail and unwavering standards for excellence helped propel the company to its position as the leading private wealth management firm serving high-net-worth individuals and families in Libertyville, Illinois, and surrounding areas. The Tranel Financial Group is the foundation for the enterprise that evolved into 818 Capital Group.
Kat was instrumental in developing the company’s culture of unparalleled client service, ensuring every touchpoint with every client created a positive experience and that all follow-up communication was timely and professional. The Client Delight program continues to guide The Tranel Financial Group to this day.
Kat is no longer actively involved in the day-to-day operations of The Tranel Financial Group, but her legacy of looking at every interaction from the perspective of the client continues to be a cornerstone of the firm’s success. Kat continues to stay connected with our team members and joins us for our team culture events.
