Kimberly M. Allardyce

I bring clarity and cohesion to complex business systems—whether scaling early-stage ventures, restructuring mature operations, or leading transformational change. With a background in psychology and nearly two decades of cross-sector experience, I’m often brought in by boards, founders, and executive teams to design the infrastructure their organizations need to thrive.

My work spans organizational design, people operations, and business strategy—always aligning systems with culture, sustainability, and the realities of growth.

How I Work With Organizations

Organizational Buildouts, For startups or new business lines in need of foundational systems

I lead the development of business infrastructure, aligning operational systems, people structure, and strategy to support growth from day one. Ideal for new ventures or internal initiatives that require senior-level buildout leadership.

Operational Attunements, For existing businesses ready to fine-tune their systems and team alignment

Short-term engagements (4–12 weeks) designed to recalibrate operations, identify friction points, and realign strategy with execution. Perfect for organizations navigating internal drift, leadership transition, or upcoming scale.

Fractional & Interim Leadership, For organizations in transition or needing temporary senior support

I serve as a bridge leader during periods of change—whether you’re re-structuring, building new departments, or preparing for investment. Focus areas include people operations, business systems, and cross-functional team strategy.

Full-Time Opportunities, For mission-aligned organizations seeking embedded operational leadership

I offer flexible engagement structures to meet a range of organizational needs and stages. For teams seeking long-term operational leadership, I bring systems design, people-first strategy, and a steady hand to help scale with clarity and intention.
