“Kim is a fantastic designer, leader and visionary. I have had the pleasure to work with Kim on many projects over the years and always found her to be a highly motivated, collaborative and passionate design and brand leader. She has strong instincts based on solid user insights and is not afraid to push the envelope of what is perceived as possible. She is highly respected by her coworkers at Mattel and by the inventor community. The Barbie Project Dawn initiative Kim spearheaded (Tiny shoulders, Rethinking Barbie), along with follow on campaigns such as the Dream Gap have inspired a generation of kids and adults and taken the Barbie brand to new aspirational heights within the toy industry and beyond. I look forward to collaborating with Kim for many years to come. ”

This was fun. Yes, we use the "s word" and "business" in the same sentence. Looking around, maybe it's time.
