Bio
Todd Tomlin
We have been blessed to have Kimberly as an important member of our investment firm. Kimberly has played a key leadership role in our evaluation, implementation and ongoing utilization of new technologies, including our CRM / Deal Flow system. Kimberly plans and coordinates many of our important firm and portfolio company events, including our Annual Meeting, our annual Leadership Summit, as well as ongoing Board calendars. She is our front line interface with new business and new investor meetings, and she also leads our digital marketing and information gathering efforts. She has an amazing attitude while working tirelessly and is a really bright light.

Kimberly has so many wonderful qualities. Efficient. Professional. Smart. Diligent. Flexible. Ask her, challenge her, and she’ll get it done. I worked with Kimberly in Sarasota, FL, where she inherited a position that had been held for years by a beloved predecessor. To Kimberly’s credit, she carved out her own legacy while happily embracing new responsibilities. She handled last-second surprises with the same adaptability as complex, long-term projects. Best of all, she always took on tasks with resiliency and a savvy sense of humor. Kimberly has had to endure significant personal and Texas-induced pain (hurricanes, flooding, pandemic, winter storm outages, etc.) in recent years, yet her candor and courage have been inspiring. She’s the type of person who feeds wayward ducks and starts new chapters when old ones fade away. I don’t think Kimberly is fully aware of who she is and what she can accomplish. She is a gem in so many ways.
