Kristina O'Brien - Kinavic Leadership Acceleration

Kristina O'Brien

Executive Advisor

With three decades of leadership experience spanning IT Services, Management Consulting, Financial Services, and SaaS/PaaS industries, I specialize in transforming individuals, teams and their organizations through evidence-based coaching and strategic advisory services. My career has been dedicated to building and leading high-performing customer-facing teams, designing programs that drive measurable success, and fostering deep client engagement and improved client experiences. As a Customer Experience Professional, LUMA Design Thinking practitioner and CTI Co-Active and Positive Intelligence trained coach, I bring a unique blend of analytical rigor and human-centered approaches to leadership development. My track record of developing client success strategies across multiple industries positions me as a trusted advisor who understands the complex challenges facing today’s leaders.

Favorite Problem to Solve

My passion lies in guiding individuals to uncover, lean into and leverage their unique strengths and values, while navigating blind spots – creating leaders who deliver exceptional results through authentic, self-aware leadership.

Unique Perspective

My approach is rooted in the belief that peak performance emerges when we deeply understand our core drivers and motivations as humans. Life is a continuous journey of growth and evolution, which is why I enjoy combining cutting-edge neuroscience with data-driven insights while nurturing the vital human connections that make transformation lasting and meaningful.

What I Value Most

I find my greatest fulfillment in helping others become more self-aware to achieve both their professional ambitions and personal satisfaction, creating a lasting impact that extends beyond the workplace.
