Over the last two decades, Kimberly has worked as a designer and served as CEO of a yacht refit company. She specialized in luxury at Boat International Media. She has also helped produce prestigious events around the globe. As part of the 1% sector, she gained insight that lets her speak uniquely to luxury clients.

What is your entrepreneur story? How did you come about building your business?
The experience taught me about monetizing contacts, business development, and partnerships with in-kind brands. That experience led me to launch my consulting firm based on my understanding of the UHNW environment, my knowledge as a pilot, and my ability to create bespoke growth opportunities for growth.
What is your business model — how were you able to grow so fast?
My business model revolves around helping people grow. Our team helps on a business development level through guidance in the yachting, aviation, or design sectors. On a personal level, we also help with motivational and inspirational development. Our work keeps growing, studying, and adapting our business model to meet our clients’ needs.
What have you learned through your experiences as an entrepreneur that can be used by aspiring business individuals?
Business taught me that failures will happen in business and that’s okay. What’s important is that you pick yourself back up, learn from those failures, adjust your methods, and never give up on your dreams.
What makes your business so unique and successful?
My experience gives me unique insight into the world of the 1% because I have been one myself. A special language is a viable commodity, and that is a viable commodity in the luxury field.
What have you learned through your journey as an entrepreneur?
My advice is simple: dream big and work diligently on something you’re passionate about, and believe in yourself no matter what. “Dreams don’t work unless you do.” Work you love provides motivation, energy, and inspiration each day!
Why is online business, marketing, etc important?
In today’s world, customers make decisions differently. Online business lets you build relationships with customers and leads through personalized, low-cost communication. You can also use growing social media platforms to support additional company growth.
Is there anything, in particular, you’d like me to add in the articles?
Shamelessly, My wish is to promote my book, “What would you do if you had $1M Dollars?” As mentioned earlier, it launches this September.

In her personal life, she is happily married and spends as much time as she can with family & friends. Travel, cooking, yoga, and reading matter to her. Her philanthropic work supports several philanthropic organizations.
What skills and attributes make you as successful as you are?
Daydreaming, visualizing, focusing on the end result, and believing in the project itself.
Can you give me an overview of who you are, what is your educational or overall background? What are some of your achievements?
While I have some college education, I describe myself as “street smart.” My life’s many chapters have taught me to keep learning and reinventing myself. After marrying my soulmate, I raised two wonderful children. I served as CEO of a company that launched a 222-foot Shadow Boat. Later, I earned a pilot’s license and wrote a book that launches this September. So, I have accomplished a few cool things in my life.
From childhood, I had a natural flair for art and design. For years, I created beautiful spaces. Later, I focused my talents on my own homes, yachts, and jets before “retiring early” to travel the world. Ironically, three years into my travels, I decided I would go crazy without a creative focus. Afterward, I spent a few years learning how the media world works. Behind the scenes, the work fascinated me.
