About Kimberly
Executive Strategist
Strategic architect for organizations navigating high-stakes change, Dr. Kimberly Osagie aligns capital, leadership, and narratives so missions match reality.
Since witnessing her students’ brilliance collide with structural barriers, Kimberly has turned mirror-honest diagnosis into upstream fixes – moving $20M+ in unrestricted grants, designing seven-figure leadership development strategies, and scaling outreach to grow partnerships ninefold.
Kimberly’s conviction remains:
when the system shifts, so does the future.
“Oftentimes people are supposed to be brilliant in circumstances that are not well-designed for their brilliance.
I walk with leaders and organizations to name what’s limiting and build what’s next.”
— Dr. Kimberly E. Osagie
