Her firm works with executives to align communications with business strategy, defining brands, building reputations and inspiring business results. Kimberly is a mom of four. She grew up in Los Angeles where her father operated a gang prevention and juvenile diversion program. She and her twin sister spent years working with their dad in the city’s most dangerous housing projects.
