Kathy Waller was executive chief financial officer and president, Enabling Services, for The Coca-Cola Company (Retired). She was responsible for the overall internal control environment of the company and was responsible for the consolidation of the company’s financial statements. She joined The Coca-Cola Company in 1987 as a senior accountant in accounting research. Prior to joining The Coca-Cola Company, she worked as a senior accountant for Deloitte Haskins and Sells Public Accounting Firm, both in Rochester, New York and Atlanta, Georgia.
Waller is chair of The Coca-Cola Company’s Women’s Leadership Council that addresses the rapid impact global changes in demographics, economic access and personal expectations are having on the marketplace for talent. Waller is the 2007 recipient of the University of Rochester William E.

I believe in the mission of Spelman. I admire the work of the faculty, staff and administration in producing talented young women who are well rounded, confident and capable of taking on any challenge.
