Kristi Hope, Co-Founder and Master Certified Intelligent Leadership Coach, Leading with Hope
Born in San Diego, raised primarily in Santa Barbara and Minneapolis, Kristi now calls Nashville home. While growing up, her family moved a lot and she continued that during her corporate career – she’s had in excess of 40 addresses in her life.
Kristi is an engineer and problem solver to her core but discovered early in her career that her calling is corporate strategic positioning and relationship development. Kristi has had a variety of roles including engineering, program management, business development, strategic initiatives, change management, and customer relations and now Master Certified Intelligent Leadership Coach; this variety has honed her skill at conflict resolution, risk mitigation, and finding silver linings.
She has worked for industry icons such as Lockheed Martin, Honeywell, Textron, and Stanton Chase. Kristi was “the first woman” many times over her career, but never let it intimidate her; instead, she feels a profound obligation to pay-forward the lessons learned based upon these experiences.
These experiences also drive Kristi’s passion for doing more than just talking about Diversity & Inclusion but actually making it a spectacular success by ensuring individuals bring the skills and both the individual and the company bring a positive attitude.
