“We are pleased to have such a dedicated individual as Kim on the TEDCO team,” said Stephen Auvil, chief federal engagement officer. “Under her leadership, TEDCO’s federal programs have experienced significant growth. Her management of our SBIR Proposal Lab, DefTech, and other federal programs have supported more than 150 companies. Moreover, she will be launching several new programs in her area over the next six months. This promotion is well deserved and reflects her accomplishments and growing responsibilities.”

Her extensive experience includes founding multiple companies in fields ranging from engagement consulting to robotics. She has conducted research on employee engagement, managed a tech-focused business incubator, supported government-funded labs and conducted economic studies in business retention and expansion.
