Fractional Chief Growth Officer · 15 years in behavioral-health leadership
Growth reveals how well strategy, leadership, and execution work together. I help leaders build the alignment that lets growth keep going — with clarity and confidence. Growth. By Design.
Who this is for
Leading systems, group practices, and clinical teams through growth and change.
Where people, performance, and care intersect — and clarity shapes outcomes.
Aligning strategy, decisions, and execution so the whole team moves as one.
Building the structure their next stage of growth requires.
Senior experience for the decisions that shape the company —
by the engagement, and for exactly as long as it serves you.
A growth partner in the room
Present for the conversations that shape direction, while the decisions are being made.
Embedded with your team, on the cadence you’re already running — for exactly as long as it serves you.
Measured by what the decisions produce and how well they hold as you grow.
Why leaders bring me in
I see what’s truly driving performance — and the quiet constraints working against it, often before they surface.
I design the structures that let momentum compound rather than quietly leak away.
I work alongside decision-makers while the decisions are still live — not after the fact.
The hidden cost of misalignment
When direction, communication, and execution disconnect, the cost shows up everywhere — and in people-driven organizations, it shows up in the people first:
Alignment is what lets strategy become performance.
The ALIGN Method™
Growth doesn’t create structural weaknesses. It reveals them.
A diagnostic architecture — a structured way to see how your company really works, design what the next stage needs, and turn it into a plan your team can run.
We move through the five stages together — and you leave with the ALIGN Blueprint™: how decisions get owned and how strategy travels.
The ALIGN Readiness Index™
The deeper read after the Growth Stage Profile — a precise, scored look at how ready your structure really is.
10 statements · about 5 minutes · a tailored read on your highest-leverage move.
Ways to engage
Built to strengthen the company — not dependency. Every engagement begins with the ALIGN Executive Sprint and adapts from there.
A contained diagnostic that maps how your company really works — and produces your ALIGN Blueprint™: the design your next stage of growth is asking for.
After the Sprint
The Blueprint becomes a standing partnership — shaped to founders and CEOs, or to investors and operating partners.
For founders & CEOs — what happens after the Blueprint
Your Blueprint becomes a standing partnership. I embed monthly to keep strategy, leadership, and execution aligned as you scale.
A facilitated session that aligns your whole executive team around the design — shared language, clear ownership, one direction.
A private monthly thinking partnership for the founder — a trusted outside perspective on the decisions that matter most.
For private equity & operating partners — Portfolio Value-Creation
The ALIGN diagnostic and Blueprint, applied to the thesis — de-risk the organization and accelerate value creation. Three shapes, depending on the moment.
An organizational diligence read before close — where the thesis is supported, and where it’s exposed.
Set the design while the window is open, so momentum starts on day one.
One operating language across the portfolio — company by company.

Why Kimberly
Throughout my career, I’ve worked at the intersection of growth, leadership, business development, partnerships, and organizational transformation — helping organizations navigate expansion, complexity, and change.
Across healthcare, behavioral health, investor-backed organizations, founder-led companies, and growth-stage businesses, I’ve learned where growth leaks momentum — and the patterns that restore it.
Growth succeeds when strategy, leadership, and execution move together. It slows when they don’t.
On why growth so often strains the organizations it should strengthen — and how to design for the opposite.
What I’ve learned about growth
What looks like a growth problem is almost always an alignment opportunity.
The strongest organizations create clarity before they create complexity.
The quality of decisions determines the quality of growth.
Growth should strengthen the people who create it.
Speaking & Workshops
For leadership teams, executive offsites, and growth-stage events — sessions that turn alignment from an idea
into a way of operating.
