"I've spoken at a lot of corporate programs, but Women of Sezzle stood out. Kelly built a real community, where women across every level and function showed up, engaged, and trusted the space she'd created. The questions after my talk weren't polite small talk, they came from people given real room to think about their own growth. That kind of engagement doesn't happen by accident. Kelly is exactly who you want driving culture and people initiatives."

"Kelly is the most thoughtful leader I've had the pleasure of working for. She creates a safe, supportive environment for her team while continually driving meaningful business results. She is the kind of leader who not only delivers on every ask, but goes above and beyond, setting new standards for quality of work. She leads by example, takes true ownership, and acts as a genuine partner in achieving team goals. I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with and learned from her!"
Jessica Gengler
Associate Director, Client Services | Sezzle
"Kelly and I partnered on hundreds of enterprise brand co-marketing strategies. Our success came from her transparency and ability to seamlessly connect the client relationship side to the marketing execution side; she comes knowing exactly what a brand needs and why it's important. I trust Kelly to complete any work promised with the highest standards. Any team would be stronger with Kelly. Her dedication is second to none and she enables everyone around her to execute their work better."
Alice Zieska
Sr. Manager, Marketing Communications | Sezzle
"Kelly spent over four years on the Walmart media business, and in that time she was promoted three times. She managed an enormous portfolio for Walmart, from Back to School to Halloween, Grocery, and Health & Wellness, often running multiple major campaigns simultaneously without dropping the ball. She's exactly the kind of steady, high-output partner you want managing a complex, high-stakes account."
Christy Bidwell
Director, Media Strategy | Haworth
"Kelly is one of the most hardworking and passionate leaders I've had the opportunity to work with. Together, we built Sezzle Solutions, our media business, from the ground up into a business now generating tens of millions in annual revenue. Throughout that journey, Kelly brought incredible energy, ownership, and attention to detail while always keeping the broader vision in mind. She leads by example, sets a high standard, and is willing to roll up her sleeves to solve a problem."
