Hi, I’m Kristi! 

I come from a family of strong women and multiple generations of entrepreneurs. I grew up on a farm just a few hours south of Chicago. Hard work and building a thriving community is second nature to me. Over the past ten years, I’ve worked with several nonprofits, hundreds of startups, and a number of enterprise companies across nearly every department you can imagine. I’ve run over five hundred influencer campaigns. I’ve launched three SaaS platforms. I’ve built communities of thousands. I’ve scaled a technology platform from pre-revenue to $1MM. And, I’ve done all the nitty-gritty work in-between that is required for these highlight reels. My passion for helping women-led and purpose-driven brands build their communities and products is unceasing. 

Building something? Let’s chat.
