Kim has the unique combination of being both strategic and tactical as the situation may dictate. She is very sharp from a financial standpoint, operationally minded, and understands commercial markets very well. She understands the General Ledger and Financials and everything else behind the scenes from a GAAP perspective and how that feeds into the real, everyday operating business.
She is confident, trustworthy, fact-driven, well-spoken, financially sound, and has a good strategic view. With her business experience from the custom manufacturing retail market to complex biologics within the biotech industry I do feel like Kim can really walk in anywhere and add value.

Kim is very capable at detailed execution while attending to the bigger picture. She applies excellent forecasting and modeling techniques. Operationally, she is adaptive and flexible because she knows how to lead a team and engage talents from various disciplines. I found that the diversity of her skill set is a real asset. She sells the opportunities and doesn't give up on the challenges. Kim is authentic, relentless, precise, reliable, knowledgeable, and timely. I recommend working with Kim for her leadership skills in finance, operations, and project management.
— Linda Barnes, CEO X-CellSystem International
I had the pleasure of working with Kim on a complex [software] system implementation. Kim is always to the point and results driven. She has an uncanny gift for rallying the right people to participate in solving problems/doing the work or, when needed she will just roll up her sleeves and get it done. She is smart, efficient, and motivated. I would recommend working with her and would take the opportunity to work with her again without hesitation.
— Tom Dancs, VP, Business Process & Systems Architecture at StratusG LLC
Kim is good at walking back from a deadline and building up a plan to get there. Her finance and operational experience give her a great perspective. On top of diligent and quick, Kim is funny and able to deal with chaos with humor and practicality.
