About Athena Quinones

At the helm of Business Development for Kisco Senior Living, I lead with a purpose that goes beyond growth—I focus on strengthening our local senior ecosystem through collaboration, education, and community partnership.My work centers on building trusted relationships with healthcare providers, community organizations, and service professionals to improve access, elevate standards of care, and expand meaningful support for older adults and their families across the East Bay. I actively support and volunteer in community-based initiatives that educate professionals, caregivers, and seniors on aging, dementia awareness, and wellness—helping bridge the gap between services and real community needs.I am also the founder of PROSERVE (Professionals Serving Seniors), a collaborative professional network dedicated to advancing education, connection, and service excellence for those who support aging adults. Through monthly learning events, expert panels, and community partnerships, I create platforms that elevate best practices, encourage cross-industry collaboration, and strengthen the quality of services available to our senior population.In addition, I host the Spotlight by Athena Quinones podcast, where I highlight local leaders, organizations, and innovators who are making a meaningful impact in the senior and community services space.Alongside my community work, I serve as COO of Scale Business Consulting, where I have guided more than 100 business owners in building sustainable, scalable organizations through strategic marketing, operational design, and leadership development. My expertise in team building and business operations has helped organizations move from early growth stages into high-performing businesses.Across every role I hold—corporate, consulting, and community—I am driven by one mission:to strengthen the services available to seniors by empowering professionals, elevating education, and fostering meaningful collaboration that creates lasting impact for our communities. of Expertise:Senior Living | Business Development | Driving Growth | Master Connector | Senior Ambassador | PROSERVE Founder | Educator | Speaker | Community Resource
