An introduction to Kimberely Climo

About me

I'm finishing up my final year of Finance and Economics studies at the University of Queensland and actively seeking my next journey. Through diverse hands-on experience from tech investment banking to working on startup initiatives in Singapore to leading growth and operations at a consumer business, I've developed a broad skill set spanning commercial analysis, workflow design, product management and go-to-market.

My interest in building practical, user-centred products has led me to create my own applications for both personal and professional use. These experiences have fuelled a passion in product and growth, where I'm particularly interested in the intersection of data, design, and strategy.

Outside work and study, you'd probably find me travelling, hiking, at yoga or getting lost in my latest crafty interest.
