President | Founder
Kimberly has over 25 years of professional business experience in the high-tech, financial and education industries. Specific to the recruiting industry, Kimberly spent over 8 years working for an international public consulting firm managing national accounts across the USA. The firm was a full-service provider of IT and telecommunications technical services including deliverables-based turnkey solutions, staff augmentation, managed services, recruitment workflow consulting and automation. Kimberly was the Director of National accounts and responsible for building and managing some of the top Fortune 500 organizations (AT&T, Bank of America and NOKIA to name a few). In 2006, AT&T awarded Kimberly and her team the top supplier (out of 40+ suppliers) for their dedication of delivery and customer service. The coveted award was also published in the Wall Street Journal.
In 2009, Kimberly resigned to pursue her dream of building her own company, a boutique consulting firm focused on professional services and recruiting. She saw the opportunity to cater to a specific niche area to provide high-value technology skill sets, with exceptional customer service and satisfaction, that ensures clients receive a much more focused approach while providing a cost-effective model to either complement their current workforce or fill a void on a particular project. She maintains relationships with clients from various sectors to assist them in building and strengthening their technical and executive brands and solutions. Kimberly holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Arts with a Concentration in Psychology, a Bachelor’s Degree in Education and a Master’s in Business Administration.
