NAPFA Fall 2023 National Conference Speaker

Kate Hufnagel is an estate organizer who is on a mission to make it fun to talk about getting our affairs organized. She educates individuals on what makes up modern-day estates, how technology is a complexity multiplier and how laws and privacy policies, which we love when we’re alive, work against us when we’re not. After earning two degrees in engineering, Hufnagel spent 25 years managing high-tech projects, such as testing satellites the size of school buses, leading recall programs and overseeing software development projects. She spent the majority of her career in the intelligence community and has also worked for a satellite company, a company known for their green tractors, and NASA. Today, Hufnagel helps individuals prepare for the taboo topic of the inevitable. As The Digital Wrangler™, she applies her high-tech know-how and difficult life lessons learned to helping people leave behind their greatest legacy: a well-organized estate.
