About Vivian Kim

I am a dedicated finance leader known for transforming finance and accounting processes, steering strategic planning, and creating the systems to scale and grow established global companies and rapidly expanding start-ups. Constantly thinking about finance and operations from a strategic lens, I understand how decisions holistically impact the business and partner with executives to make insights-driven choices that propel company-wide achievement. I thrive in ambiguity. With 15+ years of experience in strategic planning, FP & A, budgeting and forecasting, analytics, reporting, workplace optimization, and project management, I can quickly adapt to meet arising challenges. Innovation, flexibility, and tenacity are vital traits I draw upon to create and implement practical solutions to financial and business issues, paving the way for exponential organizational growth. Leading through influence is how I made an impact at major companies including Sephora, Lyft, Zoosk, and Gopuff. A cross-functional leader, I build strong connections with Boards, executives, and staff at all levels to enhance strategic and tactical business decisions. I believe in the power of people. Forging lasting partnerships, I empower teams to accomplish ambitious goals and develop top-performers that become impactful leaders.
