We’re not sure what impresses us more about Kirbi:
1) Her background as an operations change agent at the national supermarket chain, ALDI.
2) Her talent for axe-throwing, ziplining, mud-running, and — during quiet, more reflective moments — acoustic guitar-playing.
An executive-level program and project manager with more than a decade of experience in grocery and retail management, she has a proven track record of driving results. Over the years, she implemented numerous initiatives, including SKU expansion and tracking, consistently delivering innovative solutions to meet business goals.
It’s not just her strategic, KPI-driven mindset or her ability to integrate tactics both within organizations and with external stakeholders that set her apart. She also brings exceptional interpersonal and communication skills to the (negotiating) table, making her an indispensable part of any team.
But there’s much more to her than business acumen. She’s an adventurer at heart, always seeking new experiences. Whether ziplining through a forest, diving into a great book, or playing her acoustic guitar, she thrives on exploration and creativity.
When she’s not charting new professional or personal paths, she loves spending time with her two dogs, Ace and Nova, who are always by her side. Living in Chicago, she’s constantly on the lookout for new things to try—whether that’s a unique local eatery or a fresh hobby to master. Quiet moments, filled with music, books, or simply planning her next adventure, fuel her vibrant and multifaceted approach to life.
