About Kristen Fikse
I’m a curious and futures-focused professional who thrives on connecting dots, ideas, and people. With a knack for asking insightful questions and an eye for the bigger picture, I specialize in translating macro trends into compelling, actionable strategies, currently as a Senior Manager of Macro Consumer Insights (Mindset, Trend, and Foresight) at Target.As a Senior Analyst on Disney’s Consumer Foresight team, I led foresight work that turned cultural and behavioral shifts into actionable insights, helping teams anticipate change, spark innovation, and plan for the future of entertainment and experiences.My previous experience at Deloitte sharpened my skills in rigorous research, storytelling, and stakeholder collaboration, where I transformed SEO, social listening, and earned media analytics into actionable strategies for over 50 stakeholders. Early startup exposure at Atlanta Tech Village taught me adaptability, innovation, and how to operate effectively in ambiguous, fast-paced environments.I’m passionate about creating inclusive spaces where diverse perspectives thrive, connecting cross-functional teams through collaborative storytelling, and driving results through insight-led strategic planning.
