Kathy Ko, CLTC®

Development Manager

Kathy joined New York Life in July of 2019 as an agent in the Northern Virginia General Office.

New York Life’s integrity and commitment to humanity inspired Kathy to focus on building a strong trusting relationship with each client that she came to serve. It was through the valued relationships that helped her achieve Executive Council^* in 2021 & 2022 and qualify as a member of the Million Dollar Round Table^** in 2022.

With over 20 years of combined sales and management experience in both financial services and luxury retail, Kathy felt compelled to join the management team as a Development Manager. She aspires to translate her unique experiences and knowledge to empower all new agents to elevate the lives of the community they serve while building a flourishing financial services business of their own.

Kathy is a proud native of Philadelphia and graduated from Penn State University with a B.S. degree in Accounting. Now a converted lover of Northern Virginia, she resides in Reston with her supportive husband, Sae. Outside of work, she volunteers her time at the Reston Community Center serving as a Client Facilitator with AARP’s Tax-Aide Program and makes time to destress through cooking, enjoys reading and karaoke, loves traveling to islands once a year, and is a novice golf player.

*Council is an annual company recognition program based on agent production from July 1-June 30.

**The Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT), the Premier Association of Financial Professionals, is recognized globally as the standard of excellence for life insurance sales performance in the insurance and financial services industry.
