𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼! I'm Kim, a serial entrepreneur turned Business & Strategy Consultant with 10+ years of experience helping startups, small businesses, and Fortune 100s like Disney and Boeing thrive. The knowledge & expertise I've gained from experience is fortified by Lean Six Sigma certifications, a Psychological Science degree, and an MBA from USC Marshall (a top-20 business school). 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗: My mother was an entrepreneur, so like a fish in water, I've been surrounded by business my entire life. She founded a snack food manufacturer when I was 5, and it grew alongside me like a sibling. After her unexpected passing, I became the company's CEO and joined forces with my human siblings to run it. That remains the most stressful and scariest year of my professional and personal life, but the lessons afforded to me during childhood and the support of an awe-inspiring team empowered me to succeed its trials by fire. In my first year as CEO, revenue increased by 20% and profitability increased by 36%. We doubled within a few years and steadily grew until receiving a buy-out offer that, after some negotiation, we couldn't refuse. I attribute those experiences to the consultant I've become and my ability to connect with clients. I'm intimately familiar with how overwhelming running a business can be, and I'm passionate about leveraging the knowledge and expertise I've accumulated to empower entrepreneurs in similar ways. 𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗜 𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗣: I bring a unique blend of practical knowledge, strategic thinking, business acumen, and technical skills to the table. I specialize in data-driven strategy development, which frequently culminates in projects including comprehensive research & data analysis, business plan writing & development, growth & marketing strategies, and financial analysis & planning. Furthermore, my network of industry experts and professionals enables me to provide clients with access to additional resources and support. 𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗖𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗨𝗟𝗧𝗦 • Secured seven-figure funding from investors, banks, and SBA programs. • Boosted IT service provider's growth rate from 3% to 16% in 6 months. • Increased an HVAC company's net income by 33% despite a 7% revenue decline. • Grew a supplement company’s EBITDA 16% by aligning corporate & financial strategies. • Outsold 97.9% of sellers on the $2.3 billion platform Etsy within a drinkware brand’s first year by developing scalable go-to-market and operational strategies. • Drove 385% growth in hyper-competitive entertainment industry as fractional CEO, establishing a renowned 27,000 sq. ft. multimedia studio. • Increased YouTube channel's 90-day impressions by 46%, views by 126%, and click-through rate by 1.9%. 𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀 how I can leverage my lifetime of experience, formal education, and incredible network to take your business to the next level. I know that hiring a freelancer is an important decision, and I'm happy to provide more information and answer any questions you may have. I’m here to help and just a message away!
