About

A little about me - startups are my jam. 👩🏻‍💻🚀 I’ve spent the last seven years in hospitality, partnering with restaurants, hotels, event spaces, PMGs, designers, and rental hosts to solve operational challenges, reduce costs, and drive growth. My experience spans consulting, sales leadership, partnerships, key account retention, and new business growth. I bring an entrepreneurial, scrappy, and strategic mindset to every team I support — with a focus on driving revenue and building strong client relationships. Outside of work, I love all things New York (go Bills! 🏈) — new restaurants, fun events, and the city’s energy. I’m also a proud aunt to two amazing nieces, and passionate about empowering the next generation of female leaders. My contact info: 📧: mikki@kpstconsulting.com 📧: mikki@minoanexperience.com
