About Kimberly Smith

I\'m an Executive Recruiter who\'s spent the past decade partnering with high-growth companies to build the leadership teams that shape their trajectory. I\'ve worked across the spectrum—early-stage startups, Series C+ companies, pre-IPO orgs, public tech companies—and hired leaders in business, product, data, and go-to-market functions from Director through C-suite.My approach blends strategic partnership, sharp market insight, and exceptional operational rigor. I believe great recruiting starts with deep listening. Understanding not just the job, but the business, context, and challenges behind it. When brand narrative, talent strategy, and instinct align, magic happens. Outside of work, you\'ll usually find me with my family, on my Peloton, or planning my next travel adventure.
