Kathleen Policy

Kathleen is the Founder and CEO of Patto, a youth sports management platform with a built-in character development layer. Patto gives clubs, coaches, and families the tools to run youth sports while turning every practice and every season into a structured opportunity to build the skills that matter long after the final whistle: resilience, teamwork, accountability, and leadership.

Kathleen brings deep legal and operating experience to the work. She served as General Counsel of a unicorn fintech company, was in-house counsel to several startups including a sports technology company, and founded an innovation center that she later sold. She is a graduate of Stanford Law School and the University of Notre Dame.

Kathleen views athletics as one of the most effective platforms for youth development and is committed to expanding access to high-quality sports experiences for every young person. She is building Patto to give youth sports the infrastructure to deliver on that promise, and she is excited to connect with leaders across education, athletics, and investing who share that goal.

When she’s not building Patto, you’ll likely find her working the scorer’s table, running the concession stand, or volunteering on the sidelines at her daughter’s volleyball, basketball, track, and flag football events.
