Organizational Transformation:
  • Nurture a culture of innovation and forward-thinking that embraces change and continuous improvement while fostering a collective mindset that reflects the company's values and aligns with Kepler's mission.
  • Lead change initiatives that support long-term scalability, including organizational, operational, and digital transformation.
  • Introduce agile processes, tools, and systems that can evolve as the company grows, ensuring they are robust yet flexible to accommodate current and future scaling needs.
  • Implement improvements, such as optimizing functional areas, strengthening business governance, and utilizing cutting-edge technologies to achieve operational excellence.
Fundraising Support:
  • Assist in developing investor pitches and crafting compelling stories to attract venture capital and other funding sources.
  • Support investment due diligence, identifying risks and implementing mitigation plans.
  • Engage with potential investors, outlining the strategic plan and transformation roadmap.
Communication and Coordination:
  • Champion Kepler's internal communication to achieve a culture where employees feel consistently informed on our strategic priorities and developments.
  • Lead the collection and preparation of materials for Board of Directors meetings, as well as managing deliverables stemming from action items taken at Board of Directors meetings.
  • Act as the primary liaison between the CEO and department managers, ensuring effective communication and coordination.
  • Communicate effectively with all functions and levels of the organization to ensure understanding and buy-in for strategic initiatives.
  • Provide seamless integration and coordination of efforts among departments, programs, and services.
Operational Excellence:
  • Champion Kepler's process of setting objectives and developing a system of holding leaders accountable to progress against them.
  • Implement performance metrics and KPIs to monitor progress against strategic objectives.
  • Help executive team members determine and prioritize business strategies.
  • Oversee all aspects of ground-up development strategy, ensuring proper systems are in place to mitigate risks.
  • Hold the CEO and executive leadership accountable for their commitments, ensuring they not only talk the talk but also walk the walk.
