๐—›๐—ฒ๐—น๐—น๐—ผ! 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). ๐—•๐—”๐—–๐—ž๐—š๐—ฅ๐—ข๐—จ๐—ก๐——: 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. ๐—›๐—ข๐—ช ๐—œ ๐—–๐—”๐—ก ๐—›๐—˜๐—Ÿ๐—ฃ: 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. ๐—›๐—œ๐—š๐—›๐—Ÿ๐—œ๐—š๐—›๐—ง๐—˜๐—— ๐—–๐—Ÿ๐—œ๐—˜๐—ก๐—ง ๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—ฆ๐—จ๐—Ÿ๐—ง๐—ฆ โ€ข Secured seven-figure funding from investors, banks, and SBA programs. โ€ข Boosted IT service provider's growth rate from 3% to 16% in 6 months. โ€ข Increased an HVAC company's net income by 33% despite a 7% revenue decline. โ€ข Grew a supplement companyโ€™s EBITDA 16% by aligning corporate & financial strategies. โ€ข Outsold 97.9% of sellers on the $2.3 billion platform Etsy within a drinkware brandโ€™s first year by developing scalable go-to-market and operational strategies. โ€ข Drove 385% growth in hyper-competitive entertainment industry as fractional CEO, establishing a renowned 27,000 sq. ft. multimedia studio. โ€ข Increased YouTube channel's 90-day impressions by 46%, views by 126%, and click-through rate by 1.9%. ๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐˜'๐˜€ ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜€ how I can leverage my lifetime of experience, formal education, and incredible network to take your business to the next level.

Most professionals do not need generic career advice. They need someone who can help them understand what is actually happening at work, what their boss may not be saying, how to position themselves better, and what move to make next. I help ambitious professionals navigate workplace challenges, career decisions, difficult managers, leadership expectations, promotions, and performance concerns. Before consulting, I was an Executive Director at JPMorgan Chase, where I led large operations teams, managed high-stakes work, mentored employees, and helped people grow into stronger professionals and leaders. I also served as a U.S. Army officer, where leadership, communication, accountability, and decision-making were not optional. I can help you think through questions like: โ€ข Am I doing well in my role or missing something important? โ€ข How do I handle a difficult boss or unclear expectations? โ€ข Should I stay, quit, transfer, or push for promotion? โ€ข How do I communicate better with leadership? โ€ข How do I become a stronger manager or team lead? โ€ข Why do I feel stuck even though I am working hard? โ€ข How do I recover from a mistake, bad review, or workplace conflict? My style is direct, practical, and grounded. I am not here to give you vague motivational advice. I help you understand the situation, see your options clearly, and leave with a practical next step. My background includes: โ€ข Former Executive Director, JPMorgan Chase Operations โ€ข Former U.S. Army Officer โ€ข MBA and PMP โ€ข Experience leading teams, mentoring professionals, improving performance, and navigating complex organizations โ€ข Founder/operator of multiple businesses If you need an experienced outside perspective on your career, workplace situation, boss, role, or next move, letโ€™s talk.
