ABOUT KIMBERLY CALLERY

I\'ve spent 23+ years helping teams transform complex technical products into experiences that people actually want to use—and that drive real business results. As a strategic partner to C-suite, product, and engineering leaders across enterprise B2B platforms, I\'ve had the privilege of contributing to work that\'s delivered $2.5B+ in ARR and 140% YoY revenue growth.My work consistently bridges internal and external enterprise experiences. At Netflix, I led design for internal infrastructure platforms serving thousands of developers. At Datadog, I led design strategy for 30+ observability and cloud monitoring applications, connecting data across infrastructure, applications, and cloud services into cohesive workflows—showcasing innovations at major conferences and turning around struggling products by reversing abandonment rates and significantly improving adoption. At IBM Watson, I pioneered low-code AI patterns that democratized agentic capabilities years before it became an industry trend, while serving on the design executive council with SVP leadership to shape global strategy across 600+ practitioners worldwide.I\'m energized by developing people and building environments where designers thrive. My teams describe me as someone who brings transparency and directness to communication—cutting through groupthink while staying respectful—and who makes challenging work genuinely enjoyable. Some of my proudest moments have been coaching designers and managers through career transitions, helping them think more strategically, advocate for their needs, and grow into leadership roles themselves. I believe the best leaders create the conditions for others to do their best work.Here\'s what drives me: the best design work happens when you break down silos, empower people to innovate with real autonomy, and let data guide the decisions. I love simplifying complex technical problems—whether it\'s observability, cloud infrastructure, AI/ML, or developer tools—and creating environments where designers, product managers, and engineers collaborate as true partners. When design moves from being a service function to a strategic catalyst for business success, that\'s when the magic happens.
