After discovering an unexpected passion for the space sector while developing marketing strategies for a cislunar startup, she joined Quilty Space (“the OGs of Space”) in 2021.
Kimberly led Quilty’s rebranding efforts, developing a new website, brand identity, and social media & marketing strategies. She was instrumental in launching the Quilty Space business intelligence dashboard and new offerings like Quilty QuickTakes and the Quilty SpaceTake news brief.
