Katie Wiegand

People are everything to Katie Wiegand, Kreis Enderle’s human resources manager. She strongly believes in the power of empathy to make connections and inspire others, and cares deeply about helping those around her feel welcome.
A self-described “numbers person,” Katie earned a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in accounting from Western Michigan University in 2006. With her sights set on a career running equations, she was as surprised as anyone when she accidentally stumbled into HR in the home stretch of her education and discovered a love stronger than numbers: working with people.
Before joining Kreis Enderle, Katie spent several years in the financial industry, helping credit unions and insurance companies manage and develop benefits packages. However, her genuine love of people eventually drew her back to HR and into her current position where her efforts are critical in helping the firm run smoothly.
Outside the office, Katie is actively involved in several human resources societies. She currently serves on the board for “Glass Art Kalamazoo” and is a proud PTO parent. Like many Michigan residents, Katie thrives outdoors and loves skiing, camping, and putting her hands in the dirt. Nothing is better than breathing in the fresh air, and if there’s a body of water nearby, you can bet she’ll be in it—especially when there are good people to share it with.
