Kathy Simmons has been helping executives own their careers since she joined
NETSHARE in 1992, just six months after the company opened its doors. She is responsible for the ongoing evolution of NETSHARE as a Web-based community for executives who are seeking jobs as well as opportunities to network with their peers and build a personal "brand" online – a prerequisite for success in the Internet era.
Since assuming the role of CEO in 2004, Simmons has made it her mission to help NETSHARE members harness the Internet to advance their careers.
Prior to joining NETSHARE, Simmons spent 15 years in customer service and technology positions in the telecommunications, construction, and healthcare industries. Her eclectic background includes stints as a buyer for an international trading company and founder of an administrative services center in Tehran, Iran.
Born in Southern California, Simmons spent most of her formative years in Asia, the daughter of an international executive with assignments in Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, and Korea. She credits her ability to size up situations and make connections quickly to her early years and the many times she was the "new kid" in school!
Simmons commentary frequently appears in major media outlets. She has been a guest on MSNBC's Morning Call and has been widely quoted in national publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Christian Science Monitor, and Smart Money Magazine, discussing issues related to executive employment.
