About Kia Vanwright Ford

I work with high-capacity visionaries who are ready to lead differently with clarity, not chaos. I’m a Fractional CEO, strategic advisor, business strategist, and speaker who helps leaders and organizations transform how they grow, scale, and sustain. Through my SHIFT™ Framework, I guide ambitious leaders from the hustle of over-functioning into purpose-driven alignment, without sacrificing results. After 20+ years building companies, advising executives, and leading operations across apparel manufacturing and consulting, I understand what it’s like to have a business that looks successful on the outside, but feels out of sync on the inside. That’s why I do this work, to help leaders create success that matches their vision, values, and capacity. At the VanFord Consulting Group we: help founders stabilize their business and scale sustainably, bring operational clarity and excellence to fast-growing teams, or speak to audiences ready to shift careers or transform how they lead and grow their business. We also bring a rare mix of strategy, systems, and straight-talking results. You don’t need more to-do lists. You need a new way of leading. It’s time to make the SHIFT™. Let’s connect. Whether you’re looking for a speaker, strategic partner, or Fractional CEO, I’d love to explore how VanFord Consutling can support your next move.
