Kathleen Barlow

Wealth Advisor, Managing Director

Kathleen is a Senior Wealth Advisor at Hightower Signature Wealth. She grew up in a family of six, where she first learned the importance of order and planning. She’s a devoted wife and mother, with a son who is a recent college grad, two step-children living in England, and a husband who shares her passion for adventure.

Together, they enjoy traveling North and South America and have spent many summers exploring the Pacific Northwest in their airstream. Kathleen recently hiked 103 miles along The Cotswold Way in England, while vlogging and sharing insights, reflections, and tips on navigating money, life transitions, and building financial confidence.

Prior to becoming a financial advisor, she worked in real estate. However, the 2008 recession—and the financial lessons it delivered—inspired her to make a change. As Kathleen built her advisory practice, she connected with women with stories similar to her own; tales of women conquering the world who then found the rug pulled out from beneath them. Over time, her mission became clear: To help prepare women financially and emotionally to weather any personal crisis with a greater sense of confidence.

Kathleen believes that taking control of one’s finances in the face of major life changes is incredibly empowering. Whether it’s the prospect of divorce, preparing for retirement, managing an inheritance, or anything else, she helps clients explore their relationship with money and unveil hidden opportunities.

Whether navigating life’s uncertainties, conquering financial obstacles, or seizing opportunities, she is committed to creating a holistic strategy aligned with each person’s unique aspirations and intentions.
