Meet Kathleen Kimber, Community Architect.
1. What led you to Quantum5? (Brief work history, what motivated you to apply and join the team at Quantum5?)
In my years working in automotive, I have been blessed to work as a trainer & consultant for companies like Edmunds, automotiveMastermind & Shift Digital (on the Toyota team). After the pandemic, I knew I needed a change & that the auto arena was ready for one too. Q5 is that rare company that wants to innovate the space by bringing new solutions to industry challenges. I love the sense of community we are building with our clients, teammates, & our leadership! I really feel like I belong.
2. What do you find most interesting about your work at Quantum5 (products, what you do for your clients, teammates, etc.)?
Q5 has the amazing mix of teams that I’ve never seen in the automotive field. Yes, many of us have worked in dealerships, but we also have artists, writers, filmmakers, scientists, & teachers. My early career was in the arts, so it’s exciting to work on a team with such brilliant, creative people again!
3. What are you passionate about outside of work (hobbies, fun facts)?
I am involved in my local community theater & love to acting in & direct plays. I also love reading, baking bread (or attempting to), & spending time with my family...especially on our yearly trip to a lake in Maine!
4. Thinking ahead 12 months, what company related things are you most excited about?
We have so many growth opportunities coming at Q5. In my role, there are currently 2 of us, I cannot wait to meet all the new folks that will be joining us at our next company meeting.
