Kimberly Carlson

Kimberly was drawn to Beezwax "because of the culture of fostering growth. Beezwax allows each employee to choose their own path, while elevating them along the way," she said. "I think employees work best in an environment that supports them and trusts them to work towards the best outcomes, naturally.”

Kimberly has been President, VP of Operations and General Manager for several technology and business consultancies. She previously founded an animation company and started a consultancy firm. She’s served as Claris Partner Council member, co-chaired the Claris Engage conference committee, and mentored for both the Oregon Entrepreneurial Network (OEN) and Women Innovating Together (WITfm).

Coming originally from the art and animation industry, Kimberly's love for storytelling, solving puzzles under deadlines and pattern recognition make her a natural fit for managing and organizing creative business pursuits by technology organizations. This blend of meaningful work behind the scenes, and handling finance and operations, align quite well with her love for supporting people and watching them blossom.

Kimberly is a voracious reader, and an internationally published author who loves nothing more than an excellent adventure, a good book or a great mystery to solve. She has lived in almost 30 different locations and traveled to many countries with her family or by herself. If you can find her at all now that her kids are grown, she’ll be under her favorite backyard tree plotting her next grand adventure or reading about someone else’s.
