Kim’s ability to be nimble and speak with expertise to a breadth of topics makes her a go-to leader for collaboration initiatives with partners/other brands. She also has an undeniable likeability factor. Audiences relate to Kim because she keeps things real, says the things that everyone is thinking but aren't saying, and meets them where they are.

I naturally went out of my way to get Kim's feedback. I first saw Kim's enthusiasm for helping startups get up and running when we worked together at Disqus, when she not just built Disqus, but also helped a number of startups that went from fledgling service providers to full-blown operations during the time Kim helped to guide them. Later, as I was incubating Layoff-Aid, I naturally went out of my way to get Kim's feedback, and she didn't just give valuable critical feedback. Kim was incredibly generous with intros, staffing expertise, and the kind of advocacy that can be the difference at pushing an early stage venture over the hump. Kim is the best, whether she's building a killer culture from the ground up, scaling PeopleOps teams, tackling thorny internal issues with grace, or guiding bleeding edge startups. I will be recruiting Kim whenever I have the chance.
