40 Under 40: Kady Casullo, Partner, The Emergent Group | Director of Firm Relations, The Powell Law Firm

Kady Casullo, partner at The Emergent Group and director of firm relations at The Powell Law Firm, is a 2020 Vegas Inc 40 Under 40 honoree.

Kady Casullo didn’t choose her career; it chose her. “I was in the legal field wanting to pursue law school when I was introduced to a family friend who was heavily involved with numerous nonprofit organizations,” Casullo said. “What started as a decision to volunteer led to a deep desire for wanting to help others and to a career transition.”

Casullo has married her interests in her current roles with the Powell Law Firm, serving as both the director of firm relations and director of development for the firm’s nonprofit organization. She has championed a corporate volunteer structure that unites and supports numerous charities within the community. “I have made it our company culture. Through financial backing from the firm, I am able to help thousands of local families throughout the year for those in need of economic support, and I am able to hear the needs of those suffering from financial hardship.”

To further her impact on the community, Casullo formed the Emergent Group, a boutique philanthropic consulting company formed with local humanitarian Travis Turner. In addition to increasing brand awareness and managing business relations and fundraising initiatives for local nonprofits, Casullo educates and inspires local businesses who might not have a footprint in corporate social responsibility.

For Casullo, community is everything. She volunteers with Joy Prom, Special Olympics, Three Square and the Just One Project, to name a few. She also sits on the board of Project Marilyn, a nonprofit focusing on providing feminine hygiene products to women and girls in need; was named Make-A-Wish Foundation’s Volunteer of the Year in 2016; and is a former Vegas Gives honoree.

“You may never know the impact you can have on a stranger’s life unless you try,” Casullo said.
