I help women stop
shrinking — on stage,
in business, and in life.
Former media executive. Founder of The Hyve Hamptons. Keynote speaker. Visibility mentor. I've built communities, crossed continents, and learned the hard way that being "the strong girl" isn't a superpower. It's a trap.

SIGNATURE KEYNOTE
"I Was the
Strong Girl"
A keynote for women who hold everything together for everyone else — and have never once asked for help. This talk moves audiences from armor to authenticity, and from isolation to their village.
Drawing on Kim's journey from German media executive to American founder, this talk combines raw vulnerability with practical tools for high-achieving women who are quietly burning out.
I Was the Strong Girl
The trap of self-sufficiency — and how the most capable women are often the most isolated.
Visibility Is Not Vanity
Why hiding is selfish — and how to show up with confidence without performing a version of yourself.
Build Your Village
From mean-girl culture to real community — the principles behind The Hyve and why women need a different kind of network.
AI Without Fear
How female founders can use AI as a confidence tool, not a replacement — and build businesses that feel human.
WHAT I BUILD
Three ecosystems.
One mission.
The Kim Code
Keynote speaking, visibility coaching, and on-camera training for women who are ready to be seen without apology. This is where strategy meets story.
The Hyve Hamptons
The only dedicated business membership community for female founders on the East End. 200+ members. No mean-girl culture. Real belonging for ambitious women.
She Means AI
AI tools and workflows for women who want to work smarter, not harder. No tech overwhelm. No shame. Just practical systems that free up your time and amplify your voice.
THE STORY BEHIND THE WORK
I used to be the general.
Then I burned out.
In Germany, they called me "the general." I ran newsrooms, made the hard calls, and never once asked for help. I thought that was strength.
Then I moved to the US, hit a wall of mean-girl dynamics, and realized that being the strong girl was the loneliest thing I'd ever done.
So I built the community I wished I'd had. The Hyve now has 200+ members. My keynote is the story I never planned to tell — and the one that changes rooms.
