Kathy Kary
Project Manager

A veteran project manager with over 20 years of experience, Kathy has built her career with GPI. Kathy loves building relationships with clients as she collaborates with them over the course of their projects. From initial specs to the finishing touches of production, she dots every “i” and crosses every “t.” Kathy credits her diverse professional history—experience in accounting and the pharmaceutical computer industry—with preparing her for the challenges of project management. She loves to travel, spend time outdoors, and hang out with her family. Kathy is an avid workout fiend and has been focused on weight training for the past decade.
Caitlin Brohman
Accounting & Operations Manager
She/Her/Hers
Caitlin handles accounting for GPI, with the help of her accounting associate Dobby, GPI’s official office dog. When she’s not balancing the books, Caitlin loves being able to see all of the new products coming into the office and getting sneak peaks at the fun, new games coming to market. Although she’s technically minded, she has a creative side too; at home, you can always find her crocheting and crafting.
Erin Gagne
Logistics Coordinator
She/Her/Hers
Erin keeps the trains running on time for GPI, tracking completion dates for the large majority of our customers and arranging shipping and delivery of goods to one or multiple locations around the world. She has been working in manufacturing since she was 14 years old (!), assembling parts and learning about different types of plastic molding. Erin is ORGANIZED and provides excellent service to our customers. She is a monster at gardening (she typically has three different summer vegetable gardens going at once), and when it comes to Monopoly, she does not mess around.
Al Ullman

He/Him/His
Al brings a range of experience in diverse industries to his role as Project Manager for GPI. Prior roles as a published chemist, professional cellist, and music educator have given Al a versatile skill set and unique perspective on how to coordinate moving parts (and people) to achieve goals.

He has a keen eye for detail and is always on the lookout for new and interesting project challenges.
