Kimberly Lowe

Fractional Head of People & Culture | Culture Strategy & Leadership Development

About Me

I'm a senior HR leader with 18 years building people strategy in complex organizations, and I help diagnose and solve the culture problems that get in the way of performance. I've led EDI strategies that moved organizations from checkboxes to culture, implemented psychological safety frameworks that worked for large organizations, and coached leaders through the conversations and mindset shifts that create high performing cultures. I believe culture problems usually show up as disengagement, conflict, turnover, or missed talent, and the fix is building conditions where everyone can do their best work. I'm now taking that expertise directly to companies ready to build cultures that actually align with their purpose.
