About Kevin Kimball

After three decades of successfully promoting and protecting the reputations of companies, I could shift into retirement and spend my time playing golf. It\'s also time to give back. Here\'s how-I provide career transition coaching at SparkEffect and in my private practice, with clients ranging from C-suite executives to maintenance mechanics-I am an \"entrepreneur coach\" for business folks enrolled in Stanford\'s \"Idea2Market\" program. I work with budding entrepreneurs from around the world who want help bringing their business ideas to reality-Sponsored by Dexcom, I\'m in a few of its national TV ads that promote its continuous glucose monitors. Also, I create DIY videos and write blogs posted on social media platforms to build awareness and education about diabetes. On the Peloton app, you\'ll find me as a Dexcom Warrior under the leader board name GoofieFoot. And I still have time to play golf. Before my encore career, I was a communications executive for large, mid-size and start-up companies. I have extensive international experience including a two-year assignment in Europe and numerous projects in AP. I have a passion for building, motivating and leading global teams. And I\'m known for creating communications strategies for M&A, company crises and turnarounds. Specialties: Career Coaching and Development, Executive Branding, Corporate Public Relations, Press and Analyst Relations, Crisis Communications, Brand Management, Thought Leadership, Positioning, Messaging, Executive Communications, Branding and Coaching, Speechwriting, Mentoring. k••••••••@gmail.com
