Kristi is originally from Alexandria, Louisiana but now resides in Houston, Texas where she runs her company. She is also the founder of the Woman CEO Project, a global think tank and business development company built specifically for women entrepreneurs. This organization hosts over 40 business courses every year.
Kristi says she has either consulted with and/or is affiliated with consult or be affiliated with major companies including JP Morgan & Chase, Wells Fargo, IBM, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Capital One, and even The White House. She has also won several major awards including the “2013 Women’s Organization of the Year” and “2012 Humanitarian of the Year”.

By looking at her social media posts, its obvious that Kristi fully understands the value of hard work. She comments, “People fall in love with the outcome, but try to avoid all the work involved.”
