A Practical, Business-First Approach to AI
I founded Kimrey Consulting to help businesses cut through the noise around AI and technology and focus on what actually moves the needle: clearer processes, better decisions, and teams that are equipped to keep up.
My background spans healthcare operations, insurance, and business strategy — giving me a grounded perspective on how AI intersects with real-world constraints like compliance requirements, workforce readiness, and budget realities.
I study business at the University of Michigan and hold a Michigan insurance producer license. I work with clients in healthcare, small business, insurance, and the public sector — wherever the opportunity to do things smarter exists.

My Consulting Philosophy
The best technology strategy is one your team will actually use. I don’t recommend tools for the sake of it — I focus on helping you understand where AI creates genuine leverage in your specific context, and what it takes to get there without unnecessary disruption.
I work best with founders, operators, and department leaders who are serious about improving their organizations and want a thinking partner who will be honest with them.
How I Can Help
Consulting engagements are tailored to your organization’s size, goals, and current capabilities. Every engagement starts with a conversation.

Sectors I Work With
My experience spans several industries where AI and operational improvement create meaningful opportunities.
Healthcare
Administrative workflows, documentation burden, patient operations — healthcare has significant AI opportunity and significant compliance requirements to navigate carefully.
Insurance
Underwriting support, customer communications, claims processing, and agent productivity all stand to benefit from thoughtful AI integration.
Small Business
Small teams often have the most to gain from AI — and the least capacity to figure it out. I help founders and operators get practical results without overcomplicating things.
Public Sector
Government agencies and nonprofits face unique AI challenges — from procurement constraints to public accountability. I help teams navigate these thoughtfully.
Professional Services
Law firms, accounting practices, consultancies, and agencies all have knowledge-intensive workflows where AI can reduce time on routine tasks.
Education
Schools, training programs, and ed-tech organizations are grappling with how to adapt to AI — both as a tool and as a challenge to existing approaches.
How We Work Together
Every engagement is different, but the process is consistent: understand first, then recommend, then execute together.
Discovery
We start with a conversation — no pitch, no agenda. I want to understand your business, your team, and where you’re feeling friction.
- Introductory call
- Current-state review
- Goal alignment
Assessment
I take what I’ve learned and dig deeper — mapping workflows, identifying opportunities, and sizing the realistic effort required.
- Workflow documentation
- Opportunity identification
- Risk and feasibility review
Strategy
I deliver a clear, prioritized plan with specific recommendations — what to do, in what order, and why, with honest trade-offs surfaced.
- Prioritized recommendations
- Implementation sequencing
- Success metrics
Execution Support
Strategy without follow-through doesn’t stick. I remain available to support implementation, answer questions, and adjust as things unfold.
- Hands-on support
- Progress check-ins
- Iteration and refinement
Flexible Engagement Models
I work on project-based engagements, advisory retainers, and hourly consulting depending on what makes sense for your situation. Reach out and we’ll figure out the right structure together.
