“Kim was instrumental in taking our program from infancy to maturity, and led the launch of various global programs and workshops, for both our executive leadership team and also for our broader s and new promising leaders. Not only did Kim deliver great work but she became an integral part of the eBay family and really took the time to understand our business, our people and our needs. She is someone that I personally admire and hope to continue to learn from.”

-Sadie Daryana, Head of Market Activation, EMEA Markets, Global Marketing at eBay

““I've rarely enjoyed working with someone as much as I did with Kim; as our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion consultant, she really elevated the way that we worked on complex cultural issues. She brought us from a very initial phase of implementing a DEI initiative to one that's infinitely more mature - including the creation of a mentorship program, programmatic global manager forums, and trainings and workshops with both leadership and broader audiences.”

-Patty Stubel, Sr. Product Manager, Growth Analytics at eBay

-Sam Willing, Sr. Vice President of People and Culture, Neoleukin Therapeutics

“I have been working with Kim for the past few months on an integrated brand strategy and DEI effort. Kim has brought a fresh, actionable perspective to our project. She has gracefully educated me, our client and those around us on how to be more thoughtful and deliberate in the area of DEI. She has been a treasured partner and I would work with her on every project if I had the opportunity. Both the work and myself are better for it.”

-Laura Yurdin, Founder and Brand Development Consultant(Partnering with Neoleukin Therapeutics as the Client)

“We’ve been working with Kimfer as we were developing our non-profit , Health Commons Project. She graciously offered her pro bono services in 2018 and continues to do so - - becoming our acting Marketing Director with an emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in January of 2019. As we grew in the past several years, especially due to the pandemic as our organization focused on COVID-19 relief for the community, we were fortunate enough to be able to hire Kimfer in 2021 to provide DEI and brand strategy when we needed it most. With our rapid growth, we knew we needed to further clarify our general goal we started with - to create a new approach to neighborhood care. Kimfer was able to step back in and partnered with us fully to help us to define and align our organization missions, vision and goals. And, most importantly, she was able to assist us to crystalize our promise and commitment to DEI.”

-Adam Davis, Director of Community Partnership, Health Commons Project

“I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with Kimfer for about 6 months at the American Marketing Association in collaborating on DEI workshops for our staff and board members. I value Kimfer's ability to build workshops rooted in DEI education while also making it relevant and specific for our organization. Kimfer also personally consulted with me on laying out a DEI strategy that is rooted in best practices while also helping create new initiatives that were relevant to our  and our marketing community. Her willingness to keep her work real and authentic while always finding time to "do the work" has continued to have an impact on our organization and my work in DEI moving forward!”

-Christopher Cole, Director of DEI and Community Engagement, American Marketing Association

“DEI, done well, is a tough topic in any setting. Kimfer's ability to understand our needs; empathize with our employees and provide practical and sensitive learnings and skills on how to navigate these times was hugely beneficial. She helped us get the conversation further into the fabric of our organization and helped us understand the importance of DEI as an ongoing journey not just a "one and done".”

-Katherine Owen, VP, Global Talent Acquisition, Hero Digital

“Kimfer came alongside our organization to lead us through a comprehensive DEI audit and work with our teams to design and deploy a long-term inclusion strategy and roadmap. As a leader in the DEI space, we felt enormously grateful to have her expertise guiding our organization through this sensitive and critically important transformation process. I am particularly impressed with Kimfers willingness and ability to embrace difficult or messy discussions at all levels of the organization. She brings empathy and knowledge into every conversation while holding folks accountable to "do the work." Companies and teams of any size or industry would be lucky to have this trusted expert as a partner to a more inclusive future.”

-Terry Rice EVP, People and Operations, Lions + Tigers
