About Michele Kimpton

Having been promoted 7 times within the last 15 years, if I have learned anything it is that risk-taking is a key factor in being successful. My clients, stakeholders, and managers know they can count on me to lean into my work, be highly engaged, and commit to finding/implementing win-win solutions – sometimes disrupting the status quo to achieve the ultimate goal: I am known as a creative, analytic, and persistent problem-solver. Throughout my career I have been asked to move into projects, new roles, and/or address unprecedented challenges where I rapidly become the subject matter expert (SME) and work with key stakeholders to deliver creative solutions, often getting projects back on track and/or finding/negotiating better answers. I am often requested to consult, advise, and become part of high-visibility and/or large trade show teams in need of my problem-solving skills: It is common for me to intentionally be moved onto projects where cross-functional relationships do not exist or are siloed. I enjoy and excel at building rapport, trust, and long-lasting relationships with clients, key stakeholders, and executive leadership globally: One of the biggest reasons I have been promoted so often and grown into more technical roles is due to my ability to quickly learn, understand, and demo/explain new technologies. I have a keen sense for translating technical terms and functionality into information the average user can and needs to understand.
